'and', 'or' er cetera, do not really calculate anything..
Instead, they just return one of the values (depending on the operands and the operator)
Bitwise & | ^ CALCULATE an often new value, using both operands, doing the operation bit by bit.
As to << >>, the difference is clear.

SoloLearn has a lesson about the bitwise operators.

The bitwise operators compare Least Significant Bits. This is a binary operation, and the ones place gets compared
print(1 & 1)
print(1 & 2)
