Set a bit
// Set one bit high at position "bit" in input and store to output
output = input | (1 << bit);
// Shorthand
variable |= (1 << bit);
// Multiple bits
variable |= (0b101 << bit);
Clear a bit
// Clear one bit high at position "bit" in input and store to output
output = input & ~(1 << bit);
// Shorthand
variable &= ~(1 << bit);
// Multiple bits
variable &= ~(0b101 << bit);
Toggle a bit
// Clear one bit high at position "bit" in input and store to output
output = x ^ (1 << bit);
// Shorthand
variable ^= (1 << bit);
// Multiple bits
variable ^= (0b101 << bit);
