• 01 Bitwise and Shift Operators: Manipulate bits and shift bits to change values.
• 02 Single Number: Given an array of integers, every element appears twice except for one. Find that single one.
• 03 Sum of Two Integers: Calculate the sum of two integers a and b, but you are not allowed to use the operator + and -.
• 04 Number of 1 Bits: Take an unsigned integer and return the number of ’1' bits it has (also known as the Hamming weight.)
• 05 Reverse Bits: Reverse the bits of a given 32 bit unsigned integer.
• 06 Bitwise AND of a Range: Given two non-negative long integers, a and b and given a <= b, find the bitwise AND of all integers from a and b.

REVIEWS OF MAMMOTH COURSES

Captivating voice, easy to follow at a rapid pace, get some paper and fasten your seat-belts. I'm enjoying every second of this.

— PHILIP MURRAY

I have completed many Udemy tutorials. This one is the most outstanding one that I have seen thus far. It is doubtful that it could be topped. This is a superior tutorial. Amazing.
