Solution for "Sum of Two Integers" using bitwise operators

cs307

I thought of a simple solution for this problem using bitwise operators and not using + for doing actual addition as the question intends:

class Solution(object):
    def getSum(self, a, b):
        """
        :type a: int
        :type b: int
        :rtype: int
        """
        return (a|b) + (a&b)
