Bit Manipulation

Remarks

Unlike C/C++, Java is completely endian-neutral with respect to the underlying machine hardware. You do not get big or little endian behavior by default; you have to explicitly specify which behavior you want.
The byte type is signed, with the range -128 to +127. To convert a byte value to its unsigned equivalent, mask it with 0xFF like this: (b & 0xFF).

Found a mistake? Have a question or improvement idea? Let me know.

Bit Manipulation:

*Bit Manipulation

*Checking setting clearing and toggling individual bits. Using long as bit mask

*java.util.BitSet class

*Checking if a number is a power of 2

*Packing unpacking values as bit fragments

*Expressing the power of 2

*Signed vs unsigned shift
