Read reports →“What are the differences between std::vector and std::list, and in which scenarios would each be a more effective choice?”
Read reports →“Given two 32-bit integers N and M, and two bit positions I and J, how would you write a method to insert M into N such that M occupies bits J down to I? Assume there's enough space for M between bits J and I. For instance, if M is 10011, you can be sure there are at least 5 bits between J and I. Provide an example: N=10000000000, M=10011, I=2, J=6, the output should be N=10001001100.”
