Remarks: By default, we show e-Lecture Mode for first time (or non logged-in) visitor.
If you are an NUS student and a repeat visitor, please login.
Pro-tip 1: Since you are not logged-in, you may be a first time visitor (or not an NUS student) who are not aware of the following keyboard shortcuts to navigate this e-Lecture mode: [PageDown]/[PageUp] to go to the next/previous slide, respectively, (and if the drop-down box is highlighted, you can also use [→ or ↓/← or ↑] to do the same),and [Esc] to toggle between this e-Lecture mode and exploration mode.

Pro-tip 2: We designed this visualization and this e-Lecture mode to look good on 1366x768 resolution or larger (typical modern laptop resolution in 2021). We recommend using Google Chrome to access VisuAlgo. Go to full screen mode (F11) to enjoy this setup. However, you can use zoom-in (Ctrl +) or zoom-out (Ctrl -) to calibrate this.
Pro-tip 3: Other than using the typical media UI at the bottom of the page, you can also control the animation playback using keyboard shortcuts (in Exploration Mode): Spacebar to play/pause/replay the animation, ←/→ to step the animation backwards/forwards, respectively, and -/+ to decrease/increase the animation speed, respectively.
For source code example involving bitmask/bit manipulation, please review: bit_manipulation.cpp | py | java | ml.
To test your understanding about bit manipulation, try our Online Quiz on bitmask topic.
And for more challenging problems involving bitmask/bit manipulation, try the following online judge problems: UVa 11933 - Splitting Numbers and Kattis - bitbybit.
Beyond these simple applications, bitmask frequently used as low-level optimizations in a few advanced algorithms, so get ready when you encounter bitmask as sub-component of the bigger algorithms.
You have reached the last slide. Return to 'Exploration Mode' to start exploring!
