Common Bitwise Algorithms and Operations
Here are some common bitwise algorithms and operations:
- Bitwise AND (&): Takes two numbers as input and performs a bitwise AND operation on their corresponding bits. It returns 1 only if both bits are 1; otherwise, it returns 0.
- Bitwise OR (|): Performs a bitwise OR operation on the corresponding bits of two numbers. It returns 1 if at least one of the bits is 1.
- Bitwise XOR (^): Performs a bitwise exclusive OR operation on the corresponding bits of two numbers. It returns 1 if the bits are different and 0 if they are the same.
- Bitwise NOT (~): Performs a bitwise NOT operation, which flips each bit of the input (1 becomes 0 and 0 becomes 1).
- Left Shift (<<) and Right Shift (>>): These operators shift the bits of a number to the left or right by a specified number of positions. Left shifting is equivalent to multiplying the number by 2, while right shifting is equivalent to dividing by 2.
Bitwise Algorithms
Bitwise algorithms in Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA) involve manipulating individual bits of binary representations of numbers to perform operations efficiently. These algorithms utilize bitwise operators like AND, OR, XOR, shift operators, etc., to solve problems related to tasks such as setting, clearing, or toggling specific bits, checking if a number is even or odd, swapping values without using a temporary variable, and more. Bitwise algorithms are crucial in optimizing code for speed and memory usage in various programming scenarios.
