The smallest element in memory on which we are able to operate as yield is a byte, and we operate on it by use of the data type char Bitwise operator is used for manipulation of data at the bit level.
These operators are used for testing the bits, shifting them right to left. Bitwise operator may not be applied to float or double data type.
This is a powerful feature of C to manipulate a bit. The programmer can access and manipulate individual bits within a piece of data.
Some of the bitwise operators in C are:
