Bit manipulation

Bit manipulation is a way of changing the values of the tiny pieces of data inside a computer. To understand how bit manipulation works, imagine if a computer was like a jigsaw puzzle. Each piece of the puzzle is like a bit. Bit manipulation is a way of rearranging the pieces, so that you can create different patterns inside the computer. When you change the bits, you can make the computer do different things. For example, you can use bit manipulation to tell a computer to make a picture on the screen or play a sound. Bit manipulation lets computer programmers create programs that make the computer do cool stuff.
