Bit Manipulation in Elixir

---

Bitwise binary functions¹ can be performed on integers using the Bitwise module

• band/2: bitwise AND
• bsl/2: bitwise SHIFT LEFT
• bsr/2: bitwise SHIFT RIGHT
• bxor/2: bitwise XOR
• bor/2: bitwise OR
• bnot/1: bitwise NOT

Bitwise.band(0b1110, 0b1001) 
# => 8 # 0b1000
 
Bitwise.bxor(0b1110, 0b1001)
# => 7 # 0b0111
