Check Power of Two Bits
Implement is_power_of_two(n) that returns True if n is a power of two and False otherwise.
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.
Gray Code Encode
Implement a function that converts a non-negative integer to its Gray code representation using bitwise XOR and shift.
Find Rightmost Set Bit
Implement a function that returns the 1-indexed position of the rightmost set bit of a positive integer, or 0 if none.
Isolate Rightmost Set Bit
Given an integer, return a number with only its rightmost set bit set.
Add without plus
Implement a function that adds two integers using only bitwise operations, no arithmetic plus or minus.
Clear kth Bit
Implement a function that clears the k-th bit of a non-negative integer (turns it to 0) using bitwise operations.
Sparse Number Check
Check if a non-negative integer is sparse, meaning its binary representation contains no adjacent 1 bits.
