Just that: bit-by-bit! bit wise and, for example: 1011 0111 & 0011 1110 ---- ---- 0011 0110 bit wise or: 1011 0111 & 0011 1110 ---- ---- 1011 1111 See? The bit wise operations are carried out bit-by-bit regardless of how the data is used (as a character, binary number, decimal digit, floating point number, or whatever).
