974        Remember that with boolean operations, all integer values other than <code>0</code>        Keep in mind that with logical operators shown above,
975          all integer values other than <code>0</code>
976        are interpreted as boolean <i>true</i> while an integer value of        are interpreted as boolean <i>true</i> while an integer value of
977        precisely <code>0</code> is interpreted of being boolean <i>false</i>.        precisely <code>0</code> is interpreted of being boolean <i>false</i>.

980          So the logical operators shown above always look at numbers at a whole.
981          Sometimes however you might rather need to process numbers bit by bit. For
982          that purpose the following bitwise operators exist.
983        </p>
984        <code>
985    on init
986      message("1 .and. 1 is " & 1 .and. 1)  { bitwise "and" }
987      message("1 .and. 0 is " & 1 .and. 0)  { bitwise "and" }
988      message("1 .or. 1 is " & 1 .or. 1)    { bitwise "or" }
989      message("1 .or. 0 is " & 1 .or. 0)    { bitwise "or" }
990      message(".not. 1 is " & .not. 1)      { bitwise "not" }
991      message(".not. 0 is " & .not. 0)      { bitwise "not" }
992    end on
993        </code>
994        <p>
995          Bitwise operators work essentially like logical operators, with the
996          difference that bitwise operators compare each bit independently.
997          So a bitwise <code>.and.</code> operator for instance takes the 1st bit
998          of the left hand's side value, the 1st bit of the right hand's side value,
999          compares the two bits logically and then stores that result as 1st bit of
1000          the final result value, then it takes the 2nd bit of the left hand's side value
1001          and the 2nd bit of the right hand's side value, compares those two bits logically
1002          and then stores that result as 2nd bit of the final result value, and so on.
