Solution

  1. a ^ b: This operation is called bitwise XOR. It takes two numbers as operands and does XOR on every bit of two numbers. The result of XOR is 1 if the two bits are different. In this case, a=9 (1001 in binary) and b=3 (0011 in binary). The XOR operation would result in 10 (1010 in binary).

  2. a << b: This operation is called bitwise left shift. The left operands value is moved left by the number of bits specified by the right operand. In this case, a=9 (1001 in binary) is to be left shifted by 3 bits. The result would be 72 (1001000 in binary).

  3. a | b: This operation is called bitwise OR. It takes two numbers as operands and does OR on every bit of two numbers. The result of OR is 1 any of the two bits is 1. In this case, a=9 (1001 in binary) and b=3 (0011 in binary). The OR operation would result in 11 (1011 in binary).

  4. a & a: This operation is called bitwise AND. It takes two numbers as operands and does AND on every bit of two numbers. The result of AND is 1 only if both bits are 1. In this case, both operands are a=9 (1001 in binary). The AND operation would result in 9 (1001 in binary).

  5. ~b: This operation is called bitwise NOT. It takes one number and inverts all bits of it. In this case, b=3 (0011 in binary). The NOT operation would result in -4 (1100 in binary). The result is negative because the highest bit in the result is a 1, indicating a negative number in the two's complement representation.
