Complete cheatsheet for Binary Search: all 7 patterns, the universal template, BS on answer guide, Big O reference, and MAANG priority.
Master bit manipulation: XOR tricks, counting bits, bitmask DP, Brian Kernighan, two's complement, and 5-language operators.
Every element appears twice except one. XOR all numbers: duplicates cancel (a^a=0), single number remains.
