[language-agnostic] What are bitwise shift (bit-shift) operators and how do they work?

Some useful bit operations/manipulations in Python.

I implemented Ravi Prakash's answer in Python.

# Basic bit operations
# Integer to binary
print(bin(10))

# Binary to integer
print(int('1010', 2))

# Multiplying x with 2 .... x**2 == x << 1
print(200 << 1)

# Dividing x with 2 .... x/2 == x >> 1
print(200 >> 1)

# Modulo x with 2 .... x % 2 == x & 1
if 20 & 1 == 0:
    print("20 is a even number")

# Check if n is power of 2: check !(n & (n-1))
print(not(33 & (33-1)))

# Getting xth bit of n: (n >> x) & 1
print((10 >> 2) & 1) # Bin of 10 == 1010 and second bit is 0

# Toggle nth bit of x : x^(1 << n)
# take bin(10) == 1010 and toggling second bit in bin(10) we get 1110 === bin(14)
print(10^(1 << 2))
