Bit Manipulation
Bit manipulation uses AND, OR, XOR, and shifts to pack flags into integers, test and toggle individual bits, and exploit tricks like XOR-cancellation to find a unique element in O(1) space. Interviews probe it to see whether you reach for a bitmask when it gives a real constant-factor or memory win and avoid it when it just obscures the logic. The skill is knowing the handful of patterns that pay off, not memorizing clever one-liners.
