Ode to Bitset
Difference between en17 and en18, changed 0 character(s)
<span style="color:#4FC3F7">I once used bool, I once used int.</span><br>↵
<span style="color:#4FC3F7">But memory cried and time took a hint.</span><br>↵
<span style="color:#4FC3F7">Then from the depths of header files,</span><br>↵
<span style="color:#4FC3F7">Came bitset, clad in leaner styles.</span><br><br>↵
<span style="color:#4FC3F7">A thousand bits — all packed in tight,</span><br>↵
<span style="color:#4FC3F7">Just one line, and it runs like light.</span><br>↵
<span style="color:#4FC3F7">With .set(), .reset(), .flip() so quick,</span><br>↵
<span style="color:#4FC3F7">You tilt the board and grab that trick.</span><br><br>↵
<span style="color:#4FC3F7">Forget your map, your vector&lt;bool&gt;,</span><br>↵
<span style="color:#4FC3F7">This knight holds power, heart, and soul.</span><br>↵
<span style="color:#4FC3F7">No extra space, no looping pain —</span><br>↵
<span style="color:#4FC3F7">It shifts and slices in constant gain.</span><br><br>↵
<span style="color:#4FC3F7">You dream of masks, of states compressed,</span><br>↵
<span style="color:#4FC3F7">Of subset sums that must be guessed —</span><br>↵
<span style="color:#4FC3F7">In scoreboard’s glow, beneath the stress,</span><br>↵
<span style="color:#4FC3F7">bitset brings your code finesse.</span><br><br>↵
<span style="color:#4FC3F7">It sorts your dreams, your DP grids,</span><br>↵
<span style="color:#4FC3F7">It dances through those primal ids.</span><br>↵
<span style="color:#4FC3F7">It’s just one word, so short, so small —</span><br>↵
<span style="color:#4FC3F7">Yet mighty in the problem hall.</span><br><br>↵
<span style="color:#4FC3F7">Still rookies scoff and walk on by,</span><br>↵
<span style="color:#4FC3F7">"Too weird," they shrug, and never try.</span><br>↵
<span style="color:#4FC3F7">But those who’ve flipped that final bit,</span><br>↵
<span style="color:#4FC3F7">Know where true coding legends sit.</span><br><br>↵
<span style="color:#4FC3F7">So here’s to you, O silent king,</span><br>↵
<span style="color:#4FC3F7">Who makes our code so sharply sing.</span><br>↵
<span style="color:#4FC3F7">From 0 to 1, then back again —</span><br>↵
<span style="color:#4FC3F7">bitset, you're worth a thousand when.</span><br><br>↵
<strong>TL;DR:</strong></span><br>↵
<span style="color:#4FC3F7">Normal people use bool.</span><br>↵
<span style="color:#4FC3F7">Legends use bitset.</span><br>↵
<span style="color:#4FC3F7">Less memory. Faster ops. Cleaner code.</span><br>↵
<span style="color:#4FC3F7">You haven’t truly coded</span><br>↵
<span style="color:#4FC3F7">until you’ve .flip()ped your bits...</span><br>↵
<span style="color:#4FC3F7">and passed that last test.</span><br>↵
