按位&用于屏蔽/提取字节的某一部分。

1字节变量

特别是移位运算符(<< >>)经常用于计算。

我经常使用位操作将选项的组合存储在一个整数中。

int options = 0;

其中OPTION1可以定义为1,OPTION2定义为2,OPTION3定义为4,OPTION4定义为8,OPTION5定义为16，…

void addOption(int option)将使用|操作符向options中添加一个选项。

boolean hasOption(int option)将使用&操作符来测试选项中的选项。

在当今现代语言的抽象世界里，没有太多。File IO是一个容易想到的方法，尽管它是在已经实现的东西上执行按位操作，而不是实现使用按位操作的东西。尽管如此，作为一个简单的例子，这段代码演示了在c#中删除文件上的只读属性(这样它就可以与指定FileMode.Create的新FileStream一起使用):

//Hidden files posses some extra attibutes that make the FileStream throw an exception
//even with FileMode.Create (if exists -> overwrite) so delete it and don't worry about it!
if(File.Exists(targetName))
{
    FileAttributes attributes = File.GetAttributes(targetName);

    if ((attributes & FileAttributes.ReadOnly) == FileAttributes.ReadOnly)
        File.SetAttributes(targetName, attributes & (~FileAttributes.ReadOnly));

    File.Delete(targetName);
}

As far as custom implementations, here's a recent example: I created a "message center" for sending secure messages from one installation of our distributed application to another. Basically, it's analogous to email, complete with Inbox, Outbox, Sent, etc, but it also has guaranteed delivery with read receipts, so there are additional subfolders beyond "inbox" and "sent." What this amounted to was a requirement for me to define generically what's "in the inbox" or what's "in the sent folder". Of the sent folder, I need to know what's read and what's unread. Of what's unread, I need to know what's received and what's not received. I use this information to build a dynamic where clause which filters a local datasource and displays the appropriate information.

下面是枚举是如何组合在一起的:

    public enum MemoView :int
    {
        InboundMemos = 1,                   //     0000 0001
        InboundMemosForMyOrders = 3,        //     0000 0011
        SentMemosAll = 16,                  //     0001 0000
        SentMemosNotReceived = 48,          //     0011
        SentMemosReceivedNotRead = 80,      //     0101
        SentMemosRead = 144,                //     1001
        Outbox = 272,                       //0001 0001 0000
        OutBoxErrors = 784                  //0011 0001 0000
    }

你明白这是怎么回事了吗?通过与“收件箱”枚举值InboundMemos加上(&)，我知道InboundMemosForMyOrders在收件箱中。

下面是该方法的简化版本，它构建并返回为当前选择的文件夹定义视图的过滤器:

    private string GetFilterForView(MemoView view, DefaultableBoolean readOnly)
    {
        string filter = string.Empty;
        if((view & MemoView.InboundMemos) == MemoView.InboundMemos)
        {
            filter = "<inbox filter conditions>";

            if((view & MemoView.InboundMemosForMyOrders) == MemoView.InboundMemosForMyOrders)
            {
                filter += "<my memo filter conditions>";
            }
        }
        else if((view & MemoView.SentMemosAll) == MemoView.SentMemosAll)
        {
            //all sent items have originating system = to local
            filter = "<memos leaving current system>";

            if((view & MemoView.Outbox) == MemoView.Outbox)
            {
                ...
            }
            else
            {
                //sent sub folders
                filter += "<all sent items>";

                if((view & MemoView.SentMemosNotReceived) == MemoView.SentMemosNotReceived)
                {
                    if((view & MemoView.SentMemosReceivedNotRead) == MemoView.SentMemosReceivedNotRead)
                    {
                        filter += "<not received and not read conditions>";
                    }
                    else
                        filter += "<received and not read conditions>";
                }
            }
        }

        return filter;
    }

非常简单，但在抽象级别上是一个整洁的实现，通常不需要按位操作。

它在sql关系模型中也很方便，假设你有以下表:BlogEntry, BlogCategory

传统上，你可以使用BlogEntryCategory表在它们之间创建一个n-n关系 或者当没有那么多的BlogCategory记录时，你可以在BlogEntry中使用一个值来链接到多个BlogCategory记录，就像你会用标记的枚举做的那样， 在大多数RDBMS中，也有一个非常快速的操作符来选择'标记'列…

例如，我使用它们从打包的颜色值中获取RGB(A)值。

大约三分钟前，我刚刚使用了位异或(^)来计算与PLC串行通信的校验和…
