河内塔线性解采用位运算来解决问题。

public static void linear(char start, char temp, char end, int discs)
{
    int from,to;
    for (int i = 1; i < (1 << discs); i++) {
        from = (i & i-1) % 3;
        to = ((i | i-1) + 1) % 3;
        System.out.println(from+" => "+to);
    }
}

这个解决方案的解释可以在这里找到

通常位运算比乘除运算快。所以如果你需要用一个变量x乘以9，你会用x<<3 + x这将比x*9快几个周期。如果此代码位于ISR中，则可以节省响应时间。

类似地，如果您想使用数组作为循环队列，那么使用逐位操作来处理环绕检查会更快(也更优雅)。(你的数组大小应该是2的幂)。例如:，你可以使用tail = ((tail & MASK) +1)而不是tail = ((tail +1) < size) ?尾+1:0，如果你想插入/删除。

另外，如果您想要一个错误标志将多个错误代码保存在一起，则每个位可以保存一个单独的值。您可以与它与每个单独的错误代码作为检查。这用于Unix错误代码。

此外，n位位图可以是一个非常酷而紧凑的数据结构。如果要分配一个大小为n的资源池，我们可以使用n位表示当前状态。

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。

似乎没有人提到定点数学。

(是的，我老了，好吗?)

我不认为这是按位计算的，但是ruby的Array通过普通整数按位操作符定义了集合操作。因此[1,2,4]&[1,2,3]# =>[1,2]。对于a ^ b# =>集差值和| b# =>并集也是如此。

我的问题在现实世界中是有用的 只响应第一个WM_KEYDOWN通知?

当在windows C api中使用WM_KEYDOWN消息时，第30位指定前一个键的状态。如果在发送消息之前键为down，则值为1;如果键为up，则值为0
