⚡ Bitwise Operations
AND (&): both bits 1. OR (|): at least one bit 1. XOR (^): exactly one bit 1.
💻 Programming Use
Binary operations are fundamental in programming, especially for flags, masks, and bit manipulation.
🧮 Memory Units
Computer memory: 1 byte = 8 bits, 1 KB = 1024 bytes, 1 MB = 1024 KB, etc.
