Related QuestionsSect. 20) Why not start up one copy of the JVM and share it among many Java programs?
Java Programmer's FAQ - Part DIf the JVM takes about 15MB (say) in overhead, and a program takes 3MB, then starting up a fresh JVM for each program is slow and wasteful. If a single copy of the JVM and libraries could instead be shared among multiple Java applications there would be less overhead and everything would run faster. That observation was the guiding force behind the echidna project to support a JVM that could run multiple applications. See the site http://www.javagroup.org/echidna/ for more details.

Sect. 18) How do I manipulate bits in Java?
Java Programmer's FAQ - Part DUse bytes, shorts, chars, ints or longs if you need to manipulate no more than 64 bits at once. Use ~ for NOT, & for AND, | for OR, and ^ for XOR. Beware that the precedence for & | and ^ is not intuitive; they have lower precedence than == and !=, so you must write: if ((a & 1) == 1) rather than: if (a & 1 == 1) You can also shift bits with the <<, >> and >>> operators; >> is a signed shift and >>> is an unsigned shift.
