Solution:
Step 1: Analyze each problem
Counting set bits, reversing bits, and swapping even/odd bits are classic bit manipulation tasks.Step 2: Identify the odd one out
Finding the longest substring without repeating characters is a string problem, not solvable by bit manipulation.Final Answer:
Option C -> Option CQuick Check:
Longest substring problem requires sliding window, not bit tricks [OK]
Quick Trick: Longest substring is a string problem, not bit manipulation [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES- Assuming all problems with 'bits' in input use bit manipulation
- Confusing string and bit problems
Trap Explanation:
PITFALL- Candidates often think all problems with bits can be solved by bit tricks, but string problems require different patterns.
Interviewer Note:
CONTEXT- Checks candidate's ability to distinguish bit manipulation from unrelated problems.
