Bitwise operators perform logical operations on each bit of an expression. Don’t confuse these operators with processor instructions having the same names--these operators are used on expressions at assembly time or link time, not at run time.

Operator | Syntax | Description
NOT .NOT. ~ | NOT expression .NOT. expression ~ expression | Bit-wise complement. See NOT and ~ operators.
AND .AND. & | expression1 AND expression2 expression1 .AND. expression2 expression1 & expression2 | Bit-wise and. See AND and & operators.
OR .OR. | | expression1 OR expression2 expression1 .OR. expression2 expression1 | expression2 | Bit-wise or. See OR and | operators.
XOR .XOR. ^ | expression1 XOR expression2 expression1 .XOR. expression2 expression1 ^ expression2 | Bit-wise exclusive or. See XOR and ^ operators.
