Question 1

What is a bitwise operation?

Accepted Answer

A bitwise operation works on individual bits of a binary number. Common operations include AND, OR, XOR and NOT, as well as left and right bit shifts. They are widely used in low-level programming, cryptography, flags and performance-critical code.

Question 2

How do I convert between binary, decimal and hex?

Accepted Answer

Enter your number in any input field — Decimal, Hexadecimal or Binary — and the calculator instantly shows the same value in all three bases. JavaScript handles values up to 2^53 safely; for bitwise ops the value is masked to 32-bit unsigned.

Question 3

What is the difference between >> and >>>?

Accepted Answer

The >> (signed right shift) preserves the sign bit, while >>> (unsigned right shift, also called zero-fill right shift) always fills with zeros. For example, -1 >> 1 stays negative, but -1 >>> 31 returns 1.

Question 4

Is my data sent to a server?

Accepted Answer

No. All calculations happen locally in your browser using JavaScript BigInt and 32-bit integer math. Nothing is uploaded or stored.
