Byte-Sized-Chunks: Bit Manipulation Problems

Learn how to set, test or reverse bits - interview favorites, made easy with a visual approach that you will love

What's Inside

Course Description

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 are the requirements?

  • 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:-))

What am I going to get from this course?

  • Over 7 lectures and 1.5 hours of content!
  • Crack bit manipulation problems, whether in interviews or at work

What is the target audience?

  • Nope! Please don't enroll for this class if you have already enrolled for our 21-hour course 'Break Away: Programming and Coding Interviews'
  • YEP! New engineering graduate students who are interviewing for software engineering jobs
  • YEP! Professionals from other fields with some programming knowledge looking to change to a software role
