Nexion12738yC developers, people dealing with certain microprocessors, if you're dealing with bit wise masks

@Nexion Thanks. Sounds incredibly complicated to me. I can't imagine myself thinking in terms of anything other than base 10.

ttibensky788yim using it quite often in php. for example to define a entity version = any combination of versions. each hint represents one field or a group. then you use bitwise to tell that i want this entity in a version which contains field1 field2 and fields from group1. that could be 1 | 2 | 4 = version 8. got it?

I tried replicating the hufman tree gzip uses, and bitwise operators came in handy. With anything compression or microrocessing, bitwise operators are awesome.
