Bit Manipulation

Get Bit

This method shifts 1 over by bitPosition bits, creating a value that looks like 00100. Then we perform AND operation that clears all bits from the original number except the bitPosition one. Then we compare the result with zero. If result is zero that would mean that original number has 0 at position bitPosition.

See getBit function for further details.

Set Bit

This method shifts 1 over by bitPosition bits, creating a value that looks like 00100. Then we perform OR operation that sets specific bit into 1 but it does not affect on other bits of the number.

See setBit function for further details.

Clear Bit

This method shifts 1 over by bitPosition bits, creating a value that looks like 00100. Than it inverts this mask to get the number that looks like 11011. Then AND operation is being applied to both the number and the mask. That operation unsets the bit.

See clearBit function for further details.

Update Bit

This method is a combination of "Clear Bit" and "Set Bit" methods.

See updateBit function for further details.
