Скачать или смотреть Python hack: Use Bitwise Compound Assignment 4 Cleaner, Faster Code | Python: &=, |=, ^=.. EXPLAINED

Welcome to my channel!
In this video, you'll learn everything about Bitwise Compound Assignment Operators in Python — the magical shortcuts like &=, |=, ^=, etc that let you operate on bits and assign in one step. These operators are less common, but they can make your code cleaner, faster, and more powerful if you know how & when to use them.

✅ What You’ll Learn

What bitwise operators are in Python and how they differ from arithmetic/logical ones.

What compound (augmented) assignment means: combining a binary operator + assignment into one statement.

How each bitwise compound assignment operator works:

&= (“AND and assign”)

|= (“OR and assign”)

^= (“XOR and assign”)

(left shift assign)

(right shift assign)

Real code examples to show how they're used, plus common pitfalls to avoid.

When these operators are especially useful (bit-masking, performance, concise code).

💡 Why This Topic Will Supercharge Your Python Skills

Bitwise operations let you manage data at the binary level — useful in low-level, performance-sensitive code, systems programming, or when working with flags/bitmasks.

Using compound assignments makes your code shorter, more readable, and sometimes more efficient.

With bitwise operations, small mistakes can cause unexpected behavior — understanding them deeply will make you a stronger, more careful coder.
