Bitwise and Logical Operators in Embedded C: A Practical Guide
In embedded systems programming, understanding low-level operations like bitwise and logical operators is essential for efficient memory usage and hardware control. Below is a practical explanation of common operators such as |, &, <<, >>, &&, ||, ++i, and i++, along with illustrative code examples.
Data Types and Binary ...

C Language Operators: Unary, Logical, Conditional, and Special Expressions
Unary Operators
The bitwise NOT operator (~) performs a one's complement operation, flipping all bits in the binary representation. Since C stores signed integers using two's complement, applying ~ to zero yields -1:
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int val = 0;
int result = ~val;
printf("%d\n", result); // Outputs: ...
