The bitwise math tools compute on the binary representation of the input values.

These tools are intended to work on integer input data. If floating-point values are input, the data values will automatically be truncated and converted to integer values. As a result, the output data type is always integer.

Any bitwise operation on an input NoData cell will result in a NoData cell in the output.

The following table lists the available tools and provides a brief description of each.

Tools of the Bitwise Math toolset

Tool	Description
Bitwise And	Performs a Bitwise And operation on the binary values of two input rasters.
Bitwise Left Shift	Performs a Bitwise Left Shift operation on the binary values of two input rasters.
Bitwise Not	Performs a Bitwise Not (complement) operation on the binary value of an input raster.
Bitwise Or	Performs a Bitwise Or operation on the binary values of two input rasters.
Bitwise Right Shift	Performs a Bitwise Right Shift operation on the binary values of two input rasters.
Bitwise XOr	Performs a Bitwise eXclusive Or operation on the binary values of two input rasters.
