Summary  
How to apply safe bit-shifting operations in your code by ensuring shift counts stay within valid ranges and using unsigned integer types to avoid undefined behavior.  

General domain of usage  
Embedded systems and low-level hardware interfacing.

Learn how C works at the bit level. This course explains bitwise operators, masks, flags, shifts, and binary data manipulation, helping you write efficient, low-level, and predictable C code.

Explore how binary numbers underpin C programming, including integer storage, signed vs unsigned types, and two’s complement.

Master the use of bitwise operators and shifting for manipulating binary data in C.

Learn to create, combine, and use bit masks and flags for efficient state encoding and manipulation.

Delve into advanced bit manipulation: packing/unpacking, bit rotations, and using bit fields in C structures.
