Problem: Reverse Bits

Medium
30 min
Explore how to reverse the bit order of a 32-bit unsigned integer by applying bitwise manipulation. This lesson helps you grasp the problem statement clearly and guides you to implement an optimal O(1) time and space solution, sharpening your algorithmic thinking for coding interviews.

Statement

Given an unsigned 32-bit integer n, we need to calculate a 32-bit unsigned integer with reversed bits. When we say “reverse” we don’t mean flipping the 00s to 11s and vice versa, but simply reversing the order in which they appear, i.e., from left-to-right to right-to-left.

Constraints:

  • The input must be a binary string of length 3232
