\chapter{Bit manipulation}
A computer internally manipulates data
as bits, i.e., as numbers 0 and 1.
All data in a program is internally stored as bits,
i.e., as numbers 0 and 1.
In this chapter, we will learn how integers
are represented as bits, and how bit operations
can be used for manipulating them.
can be used to manipulate them.
It turns out that there are many uses for
bit operations in the implementation of algorithms.
bit operations in algorithm programming.
\section{Bit representation}
\index{bit representation}
The \key{bit representation} of a number
indicates which powers of two form the number.
For example, the bit representation of the number 43
is 101011 because
$43 = 2^5 + 2^3 + 2^1 + 2^0$ where
bits 0, 1, 3 and 5 from the right are ones,
and all other bits are zeros.
Every nonnegative integer can be represented as a sum
\[c_k 2^k + \ldots + c_2 2^2 + c_1 2^1 + c_0 2^0,\]
where each coefficient $c_i$ is either 0 or 1,
and the bit representation of such a number is
$c_k \cdots c_2 c_1 c_0$.
For example, the number 43 corresponds to the sum
\[1 \cdot 2^5 + 0 \cdot 2^4 + 1 \cdot 2^3 + 0 \cdot 2^2 + 1 \cdot 2^1 + 1 \cdot 2^0,\]
so the bit representation of the number is 101011.
The length of a bit representation of a number
in a computer is static, and depends on the
data type chosen.
For example, the \texttt{int} type in C++ is
usually a 32-bit type, and an \texttt{int} number
In programming, the length of the bit representation
depends on the data type chosen.
For example, in C++ the type \texttt{int} is
usually a 32-bit type and an \texttt{int} number
consists of 32 bits.
In this case, the bit representation of 43
Thus, the bit representation of 43
as an \texttt{int} number is as follows:
\[00000000000000000000000000101011\]
The bit representation of a number is either
\key{signed} or \key{unsigned}.
The first bit of a signed number is the sign
($+$ or $-$), and we can represent numbers
$-2^{n-1} \ldots 2^{n-1}-1$ using $n$ bits.
In an unsigned number, in turn,
all bits belong to the number and we
can represent numbers $0 \ldots 2^n-1$ using $n$ bits.
Usually a signed representation is used,
which means that both negative and positive
numbers can be represented.
A signed number of $n$ bits can contain any
integer between $2^{n-1}$ and $2^{n-1}-1$.
For example, the \texttt{int} type in C++ is
a signed type, and it can contain any
integer between $2^{31}$ and $2^{31}-1$.
In an signed bit representation,
the first bit of a nonnegative number is 0,
and the first bit of a negative number is 1.
\key{Two's complement} is used which means that
the opposite number of a number can be calculated
by first inversing all the bits in the number,
The first bit in a signed representation
is the sign of the number (0 for nonnegative numbers
and 1 for negative numbers), and
the remaining $n-1$ bits contain the value of the number.
\key{Two's complement} is used, which means that the
opposite number of a number is calculated by first
inverting all the bits in the number,
and then increasing the number by one.
For example, the representation of $-43$
For example, the bit representation of $-43$
as an \texttt{int} number is as follows:
\[11111111111111111111111111010101\]
The connection between signed and unsigned numbers
is that the representations of a signed
number $-x$ and an unsigned number $2^n-x$
are equal.
Thus, the above representation corresponds to
the unsigned number $2^{32}-43$.
In a signed representation, only nonnegative
numbers can be used, but the upper bound of the numbers is larger.
A signed number of $n$ bits can contain any
integer between $0$ and $2^n-1$.
For example, the \texttt{unsigned int} type in C++
can contain any integer between $0$ and $2^{32}-1$.
In C++, the numbers are signed as default,
but we can create unsigned numbers by
using the keyword \texttt{unsigned}.
For example, in the code
There is a connection between signed and unsigned
representations:
a number $-x$ in a signed representation
equals the number $2^n-x$ in an unsigned representation.
For example, the following code shows that
the signed number $x=-43$ equals the unsigned
number $y=2^{32}-43$:
\begin{lstlisting}
int x = -43;
unsigned int y = x;
cout << x << "\n"; // -43
cout << y << "\n"; // 4294967253
\end{lstlisting}
the signed number
$x=-43$ becomes the unsigned number $y=2^{32}-43$.
If a number becomes too large or too small for the
bit representation chosen, it will overflow.
In practice, in a signed representation,
If a number is larger than the upper bound
of the bit representation, the number will overflow.
In a signed representation,
the next number after $2^{n-1}-1$ is $-2^{n-1}$,
and in an unsigned representation,
the next number after $2^{n-1}$ is $0$.
For example, in the code
For example, in the following code,
the next number after $2^{31}-1$ is $-2^{31}$:
\begin{lstlisting}
int x = 2147483647
cout << x << "\n"; // 2147483647
x++;
cout << x << "\n"; // -2147483648
\end{lstlisting}
we increase $2^{31}-1$ by one to get $-2^{31}$.

\index{bit shift}
The left bit shift $x < < k$ produces a number
where the bits of $x$ have been moved $k$ steps to
the left by adding $k$ zero bits to the number.
The right bit shift $x > > k$ produces a number
where the bits of $x$ have been moved $k$ steps
to the right by removing $k$ last bits from the number.
For example, $14 < < 2 = 56$
because $14$ equals 1110,
and it becomes $56$ that equals 111000.
Correspondingly, $49 > > 3 = 6$
because $49$ equals 110001,
and it becomes $6$ that equals 110.
Note that the left bit shift $x < < k$
corresponds to multiplying $x$ by $2^k$,
The left bit shift $x < < k$ appends $k$
zeros to the end of the number,
and the right bit shift $x > > k$
removes the $k$ last bits from the number.
For example, $14 < < 2 = 56$,
because $14$ equals 1110
and $56$ equals 111000.
Similarily, $49 > > 3 = 6$,
because $49$ equals 110001
and $6$ equals 110.
Note that $x < < k$
corresponds to multiplying $x$ by $2^k$,

corresponds to dividing $x$ by $2^k$

\subsubsection{Bit manipulation}
\subsubsection{Applications}
The bits in a number are indexed from the right
to the left beginning from zero.
A number of the form $1 < < k$ contains a one bit
A number of the form $1 < < k$ has a one bit
in position $k$, and all other bits are zero,
so we can manipulate single bits of numbers
using these numbers.
so we can use such numbers to access single bits of numbers.
For example, the $k$th bit of a number is one
exactly when $x$ \& $(1 < < k)$ is not zero.
The following code prints the bit representation
of an \texttt{int} number $x$:
The $k$th bit in $x$ is one if
$x$ \& $(1 < < k) = (1 < < k)$.
The formula $x$ | $(1 < < k)$
\begin{lstlisting}
for (int i = 31; i >= 0; i--) {
if (x&(1<<i)) cout << "1";
else cout << "0";
}
\end{lstlisting}
It is also possible to modify single bits
of numbers using a similar idea.
For example, the expression $x$ | $(1 < < k)$
sets the $k$th bit of $x$ to one,
the formula
the expression
$x$ \& \textasciitilde $(1 < < k)$
sets the $k$th bit of $x$ to zero,
and the formula
and the expression
$x$ $\XOR$ $(1 < < k)$
inverses the $k$th bit of $x$.
inverts the $k$th bit of $x$.
The formula $x$ \& $(x-1)$ sets the last
one bit of $x$ to zero,
and the formula $x$ \& $-x$ sets all the
one bits to zero, except for the last one bit.
The formula $x$ | $(x-1)$, in turn,
inverses all the bits after the last one bit.
The formula $x$ | $(x-1)$
inverts all the bits after the last one bit.
Also note that a positive number $x$ is
of the form $2^k$ if $x$ \& $(x-1) = 0$.
