Bitwise operations in C are operations that directly manipulate bits, the most basic units of data in computing. These operations are performed on the binary representations of integers. C provides several bitwise operators that allow for manipulation of individual bits within an integer. Here’s a brief overview of the main bitwise operators: \#\#\# Bitwise Operators: 1. **AND (\`&\`)**: - Compares each bit of two operands.
