# 2 Bitwise functions

All functions listed here are supported in:

-   [Trigger expressions](/manual/config/triggers/expression)
-   [Calculated items](/manual/config/items/itemtypes/calculated)

Some general notes on function parameters:

-   Function parameters are separated by a comma
-   Expressions are accepted as parameters
-   Optional function parameters (or parameter parts) are indicated by
    `<` `>`
