Swift - Perform the bitwise AND operation

Here, we will create two integer variables then we will perform a Bitwise AND (&) operation between both variables and print the result on the console screen.

Swift program to perform the bitwise AND operation

The source code to perform the bitwise AND (&) operation is given below. The given program is compiled and executed successfully.

// Swift program to the 
// perform "bitwise AND" operation

import Swift;

var num1 = 3;
var num2 = 2;
var res = 0;

res = num1 & num2;

print(res);

Output

2

...Program finished with exit code 0
Press ENTER to exit console.

Explanation

In the above program, we imported a package Swift to use the print() function using the below statement,

import Swift;

Here, we created two integer variables num1 and num2 that are initialized with 3, 2 respectively. Then we performed the bitwise AND (&) operation between the num1 and num2 variables. After that, we printed the result on the console screen.

Evolution of expression:

res = num1 & num2
res = 3 & 2

The binary equivalent of 3 is 11.
The binary equivalent of 2 is 10.

Then

11
10
====
10

That is 2.
