Right shifts have copies of the sign bit shifted in on the left,
meaning the sign of an operand is preserved.

Be aware of data type conversions. If both the left-hand and
right-hand parameters are strings, the bitwise operator will
operate on the characters' ASCII values.

PHP's error_reporting ini setting uses bitwise values,
providing a real-world demonstration of turning
bits off. To show all errors, except for notices,
the php.ini file instructions say to use:
<userinput>E_ALL &amp; ~E_NOTICE</userinput>
</literallayout>
</para>
<para>
<literallayout>
This works by starting with E_ALL:
<computeroutput>00000000000000000111011111111111</computeroutput>
Then taking the value of E_NOTICE...
<computeroutput>00000000000000000000000000001000</computeroutput>
... and inverting it via <userinput>~</userinput>:
<computeroutput>11111111111111111111111111110111</computeroutput>
Finally, it uses AND (&amp;) to find the bits turned
on in both values:
<computeroutput>00000000000000000111011111110111</computeroutput>
</literallayout>
</para>
<para>
<literallayout>
Another way to accomplish that is using XOR (<userinput>^</userinput>)
to find bits that are on in only one value or the other:
<userinput>E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE</userinput>
</literallayout>
</para>
</informalexample>
</para>

error_reporting can also be used to demonstrate turning bits on.
The way to show just errors and recoverable errors is:
<userinput>E_ERROR | E_RECOVERABLE_ERROR</userinput>
</literallayout>
</para>
<para>
<literallayout>
This process combines E_ERROR
<computeroutput>00000000000000000000000000000001</computeroutput>
and
<computeroutput>00000000000000000001000000000000</computeroutput>
using the OR (<userinput>|</userinput>) operator
to get the bits turned on in either value:
<computeroutput>00000000000000000001000000000001</computeroutput>
