4. bitwise OR with boolean type coderanch.comThe only difference is that || may short circuit, but | will not. What does this mean? if(a.isThis() || b.isThis()){ Here if a.isThis() evaluates to true, b.isThis() will not be evaluated at all (there is no need). if(a.isThis() | b.isThis()){ Here if a.isThis() evaluates to true, b.isThis() will still be evaluated, even though there is no need. This only matters if ... |
5. Why bitwise operators can be used in boolean expressions? coderanch.comIf the bits of all "false"s are the same as all other "false"s, and the bits of all "true"s are the same as all other "true"s, then you can easily use the bitwise operators on them. You get which bits are the same with &, you get all the 1 bits with | and you get those which differ with ^. ... |
