Bitwise and (&) operator
I read that doing a & 0x7fffffff masks just the sign bit and doesn't tampers with the other bits.
int a = Integer.MIN_VALUE;
System.out.println(a & 0x7fffffff);
But, this code outputs
0
instead of
2147483648
Why is that?

Can you operate on Arrays in Java like in Matlab?
I was wondering whether there was a way to do the following, without writing a function or a for loop:
int[] ma = (3,4,4,5,6,7);
ma += 5;
thus, adding 5 to all elements in the array. Matlab allows for such a convenient shortcut.
