How do I use Java's bitwise operators in Kotlin?

Question

Java has binary-or | and binary-and & operators:

int a = 5 | 10; int b = 5 & 10; 

They do not seem to work in Kotlin:

val a = 5 | 10; val b = 5 & 10; 

How do I use Java's bitwise operators in Kotlin?

Answer 1

You have named functions for them.

Directly from Kotlin docs

Bitwise operations are represented by functions that can be called in infix form. They can be applied only to Int and Long.

for example:

val x = (1 shl 2) and 0x000FF000 

Here is the complete list of bitwise operations:

shl(bits) – signed shift left (Java's <<) shr(bits) – signed shift right (Java's >>) ushr(bits) – unsigned shift right (Java's >>>) and(bits) – bitwise and or(bits) – bitwise or xor(bits) – bitwise xor inv() – bitwise inversion 

Answer 2

you can do this in Kotlin

val a = 5 or 10; val b = 5 and 10; 

here list of operations that you can use

shl(bits) – signed shift left (Java's <<) shr(bits) – signed shift right (Java's >>) ushr(bits) – unsigned shift right (Java's >>>) and(bits) – bitwise and or(bits) – bitwise or xor(bits) – bitwise xor inv() – bitwise inversion
