Description

Note: This course is a subset of our 20+ hour course 'Break Away: Programming Interviews' so please don't sign up for both:-)

Programming interviews are like standard plays in professional sport - and bit manipulation questions are very common in certain types of interviews!

This course has been drawn by a team that has conducted hundreds of technical interviews at Google and Flipkart

Bit manipulation problems are an interview favorite, and they also pop up in some real-word programming cases, particularly low-level or very computationally intensive tasks.

What's covered:

  • The bitwise AND, OR, NOT operators: Visually understand exactly how the bitwise AND, OR and NOT operators work
  • Bitwise Shifting - Overflow and Fill: The bitwise shift operators can be quite tricky - we cover these in some detail
  • Bit Manipulation - get and set a specific bit
  • Counting Set Bits with a nifty trick to do so in time complexity O(# of 1s)
  • Reverse Bits in a number

What You Will Learn!

  • Crack bit manipulation problems, whether in interviews or at work
