... 1. So 2 04 & 20 is 8 (2 04 is 11 0011 00, 24 is 0 0011 000, and 8 is 00 0010 00). The ^ operator performs a bitwise XOR (exclusive or) operation, returning a 1 in each bit where there is a 1 in ... (Two 1s yield a 0—this is the “exclusive” part of the operator.) So 2 04 ^ 24 is 212 (11 0011 00 ^ 0 0011 000 is 1 1010 100). The Same Example Using Indexers Let's pull back from the previous ... operator is a binary operator that performs a left-shift. The expression 2 04 << 2 returns the value 48 (in binary, 2 04 decimal is 11 0011 00, and left-shifting it by two places yields 0011 0000,...
