Rust program to set specific bit using bitwise operator

Here, we are going to learn how to set specific bit using bitwise operator in Rust programming language?
Submitted by Nidhi, on September 24, 2021

Problem Solution:

Here, we will create a 16-bit integer number and set the 3^rd bit of the number using the bitwise OR (|) operator, and print the result.

Program/Source Code:

The source code to set specific bits using the bitwise operator is given below. The given program is compiled and executed successfully.

// Rust program to set specific bit 
// using bitwise operator

fn main() {
    let mut num:i16 = 2;
    
    num = num | (1<<3);
    
    println!("Number after setting 3rd bit: {}",num);
}

Output:

Number after setting 3rd bit: 10

Explanation:

Here, we created an integer variable num with an initial value of 2. Then we set the 3^rd bit of the number using the bitwise OR (|) operator. After that, we printed the updated number.
