Title

Episode 7.05 – Flipping Bits using the Bitwise Inverse and Bitwise-XOR

Creator

David Tarnoff, East Tennessee State University

Description

Inverting or flipping the bits of an integer is the third and last method of “bit bashing” we will discuss. There are two ways to invert bits: either flip all of them at once or use a mask to identify which bits to flip and which to leave alone.
