似乎没有人提到定点数学。

(是的，我老了，好吗?)

我很惊讶，没有人为互联网时代选择一个显而易见的答案。计算子网的有效网络地址。

它们主要用于位操作(惊喜)。下面是在PHP代码库中找到的一些实际示例。

字符编码:

if (s <= 0 && (c & ~MBFL_WCSPLANE_MASK) == MBFL_WCSPLANE_KOI8R) {

数据结构:

ar_flags = other->ar_flags & ~SPL_ARRAY_INT_MASK;

数据库驱动程序:

dbh->transaction_flags &= ~(PDO_TRANS_ACCESS_MODE^PDO_TRANS_READONLY);

编译器实现:

opline->extended_value = (opline->extended_value & ~ZEND_FETCH_CLASS_MASK) | ZEND_FETCH_CLASS_INTERFACE;

Bit fields (flags) They're the most efficient way of representing something whose state is defined by several "yes or no" properties. ACLs are a good example; if you have let's say 4 discrete permissions (read, write, execute, change policy), it's better to store this in 1 byte rather than waste 4. These can be mapped to enumeration types in many languages for added convenience. Communication over ports/sockets Always involves checksums, parity, stop bits, flow control algorithms, and so on, which usually depend on the logic values of individual bytes as opposed to numeric values, since the medium may only be capable of transmitting one bit at a time. Compression, Encryption Both of these are heavily dependent on bitwise algorithms. Look at the deflate algorithm for an example - everything is in bits, not bytes. Finite State Machines I'm speaking primarily of the kind embedded in some piece of hardware, although they can be found in software too. These are combinatorial in nature - they might literally be getting "compiled" down to a bunch of logic gates, so they have to be expressed as AND, OR, NOT, etc. Graphics There's hardly enough space here to get into every area where these operators are used in graphics programming. XOR (or ^) is particularly interesting here because applying the same input a second time will undo the first. Older GUIs used to rely on this for selection highlighting and other overlays, in order to eliminate the need for costly redraws. They're still useful in slow graphics protocols (i.e. remote desktop).

这些只是我最先想到的几个例子——这不是一个详尽的清单。

当我第一次开始C编程时，我理解了真值表和所有的东西，但直到我读了这篇文章http://www.gamedev.net/reference/articles/article1563.asp(它给出了真实的例子)，我才完全了解如何实际使用它。
