CMPE 2
DETERMINING THE RADIX

SOLUTION: USING POSITIONAL NOTATION, BOTH DIGITS

MUST BE CONVERTED TO DECIMAL THEN SOLVE FOR THE
UNKNOWN BASE.

2. BITWISE OPERATIONS
3. RELATIONAL OPERATIONS
RELATIONAL OPERATIONS
RELATIONAL OPERATORS ARE USED TO EVALUATE A
CONDITION THAT'S APPLIED TO ONE OR TWO BOOLEAN
EXPRESSIONS. THE RESULT OF THE EVALUATION IS EITHER
TRUE OR FALSE.
LISTS OF RELATIONAL OPERATORS:
LESS THAN NOT EQUAL
GREATER THAN EQUALS
LESS THAN OR EQUAL LOGICAL AND
GREATER THAN OR EQUAL LOGICAL OR
BITWISE OPERATIONS
A BITWISE OPERATOR WORKS WITH THE BINARY
REPRESENTATION OF A NUMBER RATHER THAN THAT
NUMBER'S VALUE. THE OPERAND IS TREATED AS A SET OF
BITS, INSTEAD OF AS A SINGLE NUMBER. BITWISE OPERATORS
ARE SIMILAR IN MOST LANGUAGES THAT SUPPORT THEM.
LISTS OF BITWISE OPERATORS:
AND OPERATOR OR OPERATOR XOR OPERATOR
NOT OPERATOR SHIFT LEFT SHIFT RIGHT
