Byte-Sized-Chunks: Bit Manipulation Problems

About Course

• 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 you will get from this course?

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

Who should buy this course?

• • Please don't enroll for this class if you have already enrolled for our course 'Break Away: Programming and Coding Interviews'
  • New engineering graduate students who are interviewing for software engineering jobs
  • Professionals from other fields with some programming knowledge looking to change to a software role
  • Software professionals with several years of experience who want to brush up on core concepts
  • This course requires some basic understanding of a programming language, preferably C, C++, C# or Java. Bit manipulation algorithms and syntax are virtually identical all of these languages (of course the syntax is hardest in C
