SUMMARY

Problems involving bit manipulation and computer graphics are common in interviews. Unless you’re applying for a graphics-oriented position, the graphics problems you encounter will usually be fairly basic. Carefully enumerate and check all possible special cases and watch for rounding issues when converting between floating-point math and fixed-pixel positions. Bit manipulation problems are more common than graphics problems. Depending on the type of programming you do, you may not use bit operations often, so refamiliarize yourself with the bit operators and their use before your interview.
