operators

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone has any realworld examples or know when you might use the NOT, AND, OR, XOR, <<, >> operators in Ruby.

I've been programming for 4 years and never come across the need to use any of these, wondering how common actual usage is & if its something I should fully understand.

Thanks, -J
