  2. Hamming weight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamming_weight

    For the most typical case, a string of bits, this is the number of 1's in the string, or the digit sum of the binary representation of a given number and the ℓ₁ norm of a bit vector. In this binary case, it is also called the population count, [1] popcount, sideways sum, [2] or bit summation. [3]

  3. Bit manipulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit_manipulation

    To determine if a number is a power of two, conceptually we may repeatedly do integer divide by two until the number won't divide by 2 evenly; if the only factor left is 1, the original number was a power of 2. Using bit and logical operators, there is a simple expression which will return true (1) or false (0):

  4. Binary number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_number

    A binary number may also refer to a rational number that has a finite representation in the binary numeral system, that is, the quotient of an integer by a power of two. The base-2 numeral system is a positional notation with a radix of 2. Each digit is referred to as bit, or binary digit.

  5. BIT predicate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIT_predicate

    The binary representation of a number is an expression for as a sum of distinct powers of two, = + + + where each bit in this expression is either 0 or 1. It is commonly written in binary notation as just the sequence of these bits, ⋯ b 3 b 2 b 1 b 0 {\displaystyle \cdots b_{3}b_{2}b_{1}b_{0}} .

  6. Bitwise operation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitwise_operation

    A bitwise AND is a binary operation that takes two equal-length binary representations and performs the logical AND operation on each pair of the corresponding bits. Thus, if both bits in the compared position are 1, the bit in the resulting binary representation is 1 (1 × 1 = 1); otherwise, the result is 0 (1 × 0 = 0 and 0 × 0 = 0).

  7. Round-off error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round-off_error

    Round-to-nearest: () is set to the nearest floating-point number to . When there is a tie, the floating-point number whose last stored digit is even (also, the last digit, in binary form, is equal to 0) is used.

  8. Bit array - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit_array

    If we wish to find the number of 1 bits in a bit array, sometimes called the population count or Hamming weight, there are efficient branch-free algorithms that can compute the number of bits in a word using a series of simple bit operations. We simply run such an algorithm on each word and keep a running total. Counting zeros is similar.

  9. Modular exponentiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modular_exponentiation

    A third method drastically reduces the number of operations to perform modular exponentiation, while keeping the same memory footprint as in the previous method. It is a combination of the previous method and a more general principle called exponentiation by squaring (also known as binary exponentiation).
