Power of two?

Return True if n is an exact power of 2.

Bit Manipulation easy

Check Power of Two Bits

Implement is_power_of_two(n) that returns True if n is a power of two and False otherwise.

Bit Manipulation easy

Missing Number XOR

Given a list of n distinct numbers from 0 to n with one missing, use XOR to find and return the missing number.

xor bitwise arrays

Bit Manipulation easy

Gray Code Encode

Implement a function that converts a non-negative integer to its Gray code representation using bitwise XOR and shift.
