Real world use of bitwise operators

Intro

The modern world of computing and software engineering has extracted the complexities away to an extent that you really don’t need to know about how the code you write is executed

• but you’ll run into major problems while working on limited resource devices like microcontrollers and FPGAs
• Understanding bitwise operators will bring you a step closer to optimization
