What are bitwise shift (bit-shift) operators and how do they work?

The bit shifting operators do exactly what their name implies. They shift bits. Here’s a brief (or not-so-brief) introduction to the different shift operators. The Operators >> is the arithmetic (or signed) right shift operator. >>> is the logical (or unsigned) right shift operator. << is the left shift operator, and meets the needs of … Read more

What does “|=” mean? (pipe equal operator)

|= reads the same way as +=. is the same as where | is the bit-wise OR operator. All operators are referenced here. A bit-wise operator is used because, as is frequent, those constants enable an int to carry flags. If you look at those constants, you’ll see that they’re in powers of two : So you can use bit-wise OR to … Read more

What does ‘&’ do in a C++ declaration?

What does operator “dot” (.) mean?

The dot itself is not an operator, .^ is. The .^ is a pointwise¹ (i.e. element-wise) power, as .* is the pointwise product. .^ Array power. A.^B is the matrix with elements A(i,j) to the B(i,j) power. The sizes of A and B must be the same or be compatible. C.f. “Array vs. Matrix Operations”: … Read more
