bitwise
Operating on bits
Bitwise describes operations that manipulate individual bits within binary numbers rather than treating them as whole values.
In programming, bitwise operators like AND, OR, and XOR compare corresponding bits in two numbers: The bitwise AND of 5 and 3 gives 1.
Bitwise operations are fundamental to low-level programming, encryption, and optimizing performance-critical code.
