Signed Bitwise Operations

ANSI 3.3 The results of bitwise operations on signed integers

Bitwise operations on signed integers work the same as bitwise operations on unsigned integers. For example, -16 & 99 can be expressed in binary as

  11111111 11110000  
& 00000000 01100011  
  _________________  
  00000000 01100000  

The result of the bitwise AND is 96.
