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.
Isolate Rightmost Set Bit
Given an integer, return a number with only its rightmost set bit set.
Bitwise AND of a Range
Given a range [a, b], return the bitwise AND of all integers in that inclusive range without iterating over all numbers.
Add without plus
Implement a function that adds two integers using only bitwise operations, no arithmetic plus or minus.
Divide using shifts
Implement division of two integers using only bit shifts and arithmetic, without using division or modulo operators.
Clear Rightmost Set Bit
Write a function clear_rightmost_set_bit that accepts a non-negative integer and returns the integer with its rightmost set bit cleared.
