4 Low-Level Bit Manipulation
This chapter discusses some bit manipulation techniques for WebAssembly applications, which we’ll apply to projects in later chapters to improve application performance. This topic can be challenging for readers not familiar with low-level programming, so if working with binary data isn’t in your interest, you can continue on to the next chapter and simply refer back to this one as needed.
Before exploring bit manipulation techniques, we’ll go over a few essential topics, which include the three different numeric bases—decimal, hexadecimal, and binary; the details of integer and floating-point arithmetic; and ...
