The Bitwise Operations in Relation to the Concept of Set

Abstract


 
 
 
 We contemplate this article to help the teachers of programming in his aspiration for giving some appropriate and interesting examples. The work will be especially useful for students-future programmers, and for their lecturers.
 Some of the strong sides of these programming languages C/C++ and Java are the possibilities of low-level programming. Some of the means for this possibility are the introduced standard bitwise operations, with the help of which, it is possible directly operate with every bit of an arbitrary variable situated in the computer’s memory.
 In the current study, we are going to describe some methodical aspects for work with the bitwise operations and we will discuss the benefit of using bitwise operations in programming. The article shows some advantages of using bitwise operations, realising various operations with sets.
 
 
 
 

On the Study of the n-dimensional Boolean Cube in the Undergraduate Programs in Computer Science

“…-Extended level: includes teaching the remaining parts of the lecture, which can be taught by a one-hour presentation. The last 4 exercises after the lecture can be done in a half lab hour or given for homework -for developing programs that implement vector operations, generating the subsets of a given set, the basic operations on sets by vector operations (see [2,3,46,49]). This level extends and upgrades the previous knowledge by: operations on binary vectors, structural properties of the Boolean cube, the concept of characteristic vector, an example of an isomorphism between two discrete structures and between two partially ordered sets, more applications, etc.…”
