i am so confused. not only did i not understand any of this, but was this actually part of the interview?

and chips is not an appropriate breakfast. just thought i would mention it...

and you haven't got any apples? bananas? some sort of granola bar?

I bought them out of the vending machine... it was chips or chocolate...

Another fun bitwise dealie I've seen in interviews (had it in the interview for my current job, actually) is calculating the first power of 2 greater than a given 32-bit int.

My guess is that that's similar to the way you would go about finding out the number of bits that are ones? (There's probably a better term for what I'm trying to say than that, but I'm sort of not functioning completely atm :p)
