Lec -13: Bitwise Operators in Python | AND, OR, NOT, XOR, RIGHT SHIFT, LEFT SHIFT | Dr. M F Akhtar

I'm uploading each lecture video with an example and executing programmes in Jupiter Notebook to help you understand it. You should also understand programming concepts. Shorter videos are easier to watch and understand, so practice often. If you have not yet subscribed, please do so and leave a comment because I want to improve education for all students, especially those who are economically weak.
In addition, I have included a detailed explanation here.
Topics covered in this session:
1. What is Bitwise Operators?
2. What are the application of Bitwise Operators?

The detailed explanations are:
Python bitwise operators are fundamental tools for manipulating individual bits of integers at the binary level. They perform operations on binary representations of integers such as left and right bit shifting, AND, OR, XOR, and NOT. These operators are useful in applications that require low-level bit manipulation, such as cryptography, networking, hardware interfacing, and optimizing specific algorithms.

Understanding how these operators work and how they are used can help a programmer solve complex problems more efficiently in Python. In this article, we will look at bitwise operators in Python, including their functionality, use cases, and practical examples.

What is the Python bitwise operator?
In Python, bitwise operators are used to perform operations on individual integer bits. Bitwise operators manipulate the bits of an integer value in binary format. Python includes six bitwise operators for manipulating binary numbers. The six bitwise operators include AND, OR, XOR, NOT, RIGHT SHIFT, LEFT SHIFT. Each of these operators applies a different operation to the binary representation of an integer.
Application of Python Bitwise Operators
Python's bitwise operators are used to operate on integer bits. These operators can be used in several applications, including:

Data Compression: Bitwise operators can compress data by manipulating the bits of an integer. Bitwise operators like OR and AND can help to reduce the number of bits needed to store data.
Encryption: Bitwise operators can encrypt data by manipulating the bits of an integer. Using bitwise operators like XOR, the data can be transformed into a more secure ciphertext.
Image processing uses bitwise operators to manipulate an image's pixels. Masking, blending, and thresholding are examples of image processing techniques that can be implemented using bitwise operators such as AND, OR, and XOR.
Networking: Bitwise operators can be used to change IP addresses and subnet masks. IP addresses and subnet masks can be manipulated using bitwise operators such as AND, OR, and XOR to determine network boundaries and filter IP addresses, respectively.
Microcontroller programming uses bitwise operators to control the operation of hardware peripherals. Bitwise operators such as OR and AND can be used to control and monitor hardware peripheral operation.
In graphics programming, bitwise operators can be used to manipulate image pixels. Images can be transformed into more visually appealing forms using bitwise operators such as XOR.
