Bitwise Compound Assignment Operators

In this problem: You will create a program using bitwise compound assignment operators (>>=, <<=, &=, |=, ^=) to perform bit operations and output results.

Learning Objective: Understand bitwise compound assignment operators and the basics of bit shifting and logical operations

Overview

Bitwise compound assignment operators perform bit-level operations and assignment in one statement. <<= is left shift (multiply by power of 2), >>= is right shift (divide by power of 2), &= is bitwise AND, |= is bitwise OR, ^= is bitwise XOR.

Specifications

• Perform shift operations on a variable with initial value 8
• <<= left shift by 2 bits (multiply by 4)
• >>= right shift by 1 bit (divide by 2)
• &= apply bit mask (0xFF)
• |= set bits
• ^= toggle bits

Output Format

Start: 8
After <<= 2: 32
After >>= 1: 16
After &= 0xFF: 16
After |= 3: 19
After ^= 5: 22
