Implement Bit Manipulation Tricks

XOR tricks and bitmask enumeration

Challenge 4 of Linear Structures & BitsBeginner~50 minFree

Master the bit tricks that power flags, bitsets, hashing, and low-level optimization. You will count set bits with Brian Kernighan's trick, detect powers of two, find a lone number with XOR, manipulate individual bits, and enumerate subsets with bitmasks.
