Using bitwise operations to filter results based on user selected filters in javascript

Not sure I got it correctly... But if I did, here's a simpler solution which doesn't rely on implication. Bitfields are ubiquitous in C programming, they are used to specify flags. If, for instance, your hotel requirements amount to bitfield 01101010 then you can simply AND the bitfield with each candidate hotel and require that the result equals your bitfield. So for instance, if a candidate hotel offers services 11111010 then 01101010 & 11111010 == 01101010 so it's returned as a result. Note that the candidate hotel actually offers more services than those requested, but includes all of our requirements. If a different candidate hotel offers 01111010 then 10111010 & 01101010 == 00101010 != 01101010 so this hotel is not returned with the results because it fails to provide requirement #6 (zero based).
