Which of the following operations cannot be performed using bitwise operators?
(A)
Division
(B)
Modulus
(C)
Left Shift
(D)
Right Shift
Answer: (B)
Explanation:
Bitwise operators perform operations on the individual bits of a number represented in binary form.
a) Division can be performed using bitwise operators by shifting the bits to the right repeatedly.
c) Left shift can also be performed using bitwise operators by shifting the bits to the left.
d) Right shift can also be performed using bitwise operators by shifting the bits to the right.
However, modulus operation cannot be performed using bitwise operators since it involves finding the remainder after division, which cannot be determined by manipulating individual bits of the numbers involved.
