Bitwise operations in C Bitwise operations in C In the C programming language, operations can be performed on a bit level using bitwise operators. Bitwise operations are contrasted by byte-level operations which characterize the bitwise operators' logical counterparts, the AND, OR and NOT operators. Instead of performing on individual bits, byte-level operators perform on strings of eight bits (known as bytes) at a time. The reason for this is that a byte is normally the smallest unit of addressable memory (i.e. data with a unique memory address.) This applies to bitwise operators as well, which means that even though they operate on only one
Byte (magazine) Wilson began writing for byte.com, mostly in the persona of his best-known character Repairman Jack. Byte.com closed in 2013. Byte.com redirects to the website of InformationWeek, a sister technology magazine also published by UBM TechWeb. Byte (magazine) Byte was an American microcomputer magazine, influential in the late 1970s and throughout the 1980s because of its wide-ranging editorial coverage. Whereas many magazines from the mid-1980s had been dedicated to the MS-DOS (PC) platform or the Mac, mostly from a business or home user's perspective, "Byte" covered developments in the entire field of "small computers and software", and sometimes other computing fields
