C provides extensive bit manipulation operators for programmers who want to communicate directly with the hardware. These operators are used for testing bits or shifting them either right to left or left to right. Bitwise operators are used to manipulate the bits of integral operands such as char, short, int and long in both signed and unsigned form. It may not be applied to float and double. The unsigned integer is normally used with bitwise operators.

The bitwise operators are:
