Java: Checking if a bit is 0 or 1 in a long

Question

What method would you use to determine if the the bit that represents 2^x is a 1 or 0 ?

Answer 1

My contribution - ignore previous one

public class TestBits { 

    public static void main(String[] args) { 

        byte bit1 = 0b00000001;     
        byte bit2 = 0b00000010;
        byte bit3 = 0b00000100;
        byte bit4 = 0b00001000;
        byte bit5 = 0b00010000;
        byte bit6 = 0b00100000;
        byte bit7 = 0b01000000;

        byte myValue = 9;                        // any value

        if (((myValue >>> 3) & bit1 ) != 0) {    //  shift 3 to test bit4
            System.out.println(" ON "); 
        }
    } 
}
