Bitwise Operations

Instructions

A decimal number can be represented as a sequence of bits. To illustrate:

6 = 00000110
23 = 00010111

From the bitwise representation of numbers, we can calculate the bitwise AND, bitwise OR and bitwise XOR. Using the example above:

bitwise_and(6, 23) ➞ 00000110

bitwise_or(6, 23) ➞ 00010111

bitwise_xor(6, 23) ➞ 00010001

Write three functions to calculate the bitwise AND, bitwise OR and bitwise XOR of two numbers.

Examples

bitwise_and(7, 12) ➞ 4

bitwise_or(7, 12) ➞ 15

bitwise_xor(7, 12) ➞ 11
