In computing, operating on or processing individual bits (binary digits) one at a time.
Combines 'bit' (from 'binary digit') with the suffix '-wise,' which means 'in the manner of' or 'with respect to.' This is a modern computing term created in the 20th century.
Bitwise operations are the secret weapons of computer programmers—they can manipulate data at the most fundamental level (individual 1s and 0s) faster than any other method!
