My last blog post about Bit Magic generated some buzz amongst fellow EVM developers and some of them reached out to me to include additional things in my blog related to using bits effectively in Solidity and the EVM in general.

Bitwise Operations​

Includes all basic bitwise operations such as and, or, xor, not, shiftLeft, shiftRight etc.

uint x;
uint y;

x & y // and
x | y // or
x ^ y // xor
~x    // not
x << y // shift x by y bits to the left
x >> y // shift x by y bits to the right
