The problems look intimidating, the optimal solutions look like magic, and yet the entire topic rests on about six tricks you can learn in an afternoon.</p> <p>This post covers why bit manipulation keeps showing up in interviews, the six tricks that solve the vast majority of bitwise questions, and five classic problems with worked Python solutions. If you want the structured version, <a href="https://algorithmsin60days.com/algorithms/day53-bit-manipulation-techniques/">Day 53 of our challenge</a> covers these techniques as part of the full <a href="https://algorithmsin60days.com/curriculum/">60-day curriculum</a>.</p>
