How do you set, clear and toggle a single bit in Rust?

Question

How do I set, clear and toggle a bit in Rust?

Answer 1

Rust has both bit-twiddling operators and binary format printing (very helpful for debugging):

fn bit_twiddling(original: u8, bit: u8) {
    let mask = 1 << bit;

    println!(
        "Original: {:b}, Set: {:b}, Cleared: {:b}, Toggled: {:b}",
        original,
        original |  mask,
        original & !mask,
        original ^  mask
    );
}

fn main() {
    bit_twiddling(0, 3);
    bit_twiddling(8, 3);
}

It also has the compound assignment variants (|=, &= and ^=).
