See also Knuth's TAOCP section 7.1.3 "Bitwise Tricks & Techniques" which makes references to this book Hacker's Delight and covers some similar ground, in Knuth's unique style. (Published as part of Vol 4A in 2011, earlier as Volume 4 Fascicle 1 in 2009, and earlier draft available online as pre-fascicle 1A: https://cs.stanford.edu/~knuth/fasc1a.ps.gz ) (The first edition of Hacker's Delight is from 2002. HAKMEM is from 1972.)

> The bitwise techniques book will shock you because it's basically Hacker's Delight: Knuth Edition and it is very, very good and useful.
