Per-bit operations on bit patterns: NOT, AND, OR, XOR, left shift, right shift.

Bitwise C operators work per bit on patterns without interpreting them as numbers. ~x flips every bit; x & y, x | y, x ^ y combine bits via AND, OR, XOR; x > k shifts right (integer division by 2^k). Essential in low-level programming.

Microcontroller registers, bit masks, fast multiplication/division by powers of two, embedded systems.
