Thanks for the support!  But, as I watch this question sink 
unacknowledged into the archives of the Java help forums,  I'm beginning 
to suspect that there's no mental shortcut for & or | or ^, that it has 
to be done out by hand or computed.  Which I'm not looking forward to 
WRT the exam....   :(

PS: someone did mention that ~x (bitwise NOT of x) can be represented as
     -x - 1
which is good to know.

PPS: actually my close-bracket would have failed the regex.  But point
taken ;)
