AND
The logical
AND
operation compares 2 bits and if they are both “
1”,
then the result is
“1”,
otherwise, the result is
“0”.

OR
The logical
OR
operation compares 2 bits and if either or both bits are
“1”,
then the result is
“1”,
otherwise, the result is
“0”.

XOR
The logical
XOR (exclusive OR)
operation compares 2 bits and if exactly one of them is a
“1”,
then
the result is
“1”,
otherwise the result is
“0”.
