Objective-C is the main programming language used by Apple for the OS X and iOS operating systems and their respective frameworks, Cocoa and Cocoa Touch.
|
|
It is a general-purpose, object-oriented programming language that adds Smalltalk-style messaging to the C programming language.

1 && 1; // => 1 (Logical and)

0 || 1; // => 1 (Logical or)

~0x0F; // => 0xF0 (bitwise negation)

0x0F & 0xF0; // => 0x00 (bitwise AND)
