Episode Synopsis

This episode explores methods for manipulating individual bits within binary data. It details three types of shifts: logical, arithmetic, and circular, explaining how each operation affects bit placement and the carry bit. Furthermore, the source examines Boolean logical operations (AND, OR, XOR) and their application with masks to specifically set, clear, or toggle bits, providing practical examples of how these techniques are used in computing, including multiplication and division. The content is designed to educate on fundamental concepts in low-level data manipulation.
