Problem: Reverse Bits

easy
15 min
Explore how to reverse the bits of a 32-bit unsigned integer by understanding and applying bitwise manipulation techniques in Python. This lesson helps you grasp the problem requirements, focus on reversing bit order rather than flipping bit values, and implement a solution with optimal time and space complexity. Gain confidence in tackling similar coding interview challenges involving bitwise operations.

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
