bitwise operators

Question

is there any real need for bitwise operators?

Answer 1

It can be used for solving problems which are in binary. So maybe for creating any logical condition these operators could be used.

Answer 2

any particular example which we need in real life

Answer 3

since programming depends on bytes I would say yes. Multiplication and other math funktions are done this way.

Answer 4

Here's an example 2 in binary is 0010, if you use a logical left shift that is <<2 you get 4, essentially a logical left shift doubles a number.
