JavaScript Bitwise Operators
The bitwise operators work by converting values (num1 and num2) to 32-bit binary numbers and then comparing the individual bits of these two binary numbers. The result is returned as a normal decimal number.
For example, the decimal number 52 has a binary representation of 110100. Please check our decimal to binary Online converter for reference.
