Question
What if I want to compare bit strings of uneven length?
Answer
That’s totally fine! It will line them up accordingly (from the right) and fill in 0
s for the leftmost unfilled bits. At least this is what you can do visually to help.
If we want to &
together the bit strings 1001
and 1001 1010
, for example, we would write it out like this:
0000 1001
& 1001 1010
-------------
0000 1000
