Bitwise Operations

Bitwise Operations

Topics Covered

• Bitwise AND (&), OR (|), XOR (^), NOT (~)
• Left shift (<<) and right shift (>>)
• Bit masks: setting, clearing, toggling, checking bits
• Flag manipulation with bitmasks
• Common bit tricks: power-of-two checks, alignment
• Portable bitwise operations and implementation-defined behavior
• Bit-fields revisited

Content coming soon. This module will cover bitwise operations — fundamental to systems programming, embedded development, and performance-critical code. It covers operators, practical patterns, and portable techniques.
