What USEFUL bitwise operator code tricks should a developer know about?

See the famous Bit Twiddling Hacks Most of the multiply/divide ones are unnecessary - the compiler will do that automatically and you will just confuse people.

I have not read the book (yet), but I have been told that the Book Hacker's Delight shows a number of tricks in working with bits.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
