+### bit operations
+C++20 provides a new `<bit>` header which provides some bit operations including popcount.
+```c++
+std::popcount(0u); // 0
+std::popcount(1u); // 1
+std::popcount(0b1111'0000u); // 4

 ## Acknowledgements
 * [cppreference](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp) - especially useful for finding examples and documentation of new library features.
 * [C++ Rvalue References Explained](http://thbecker.net/articles/rvalue_references/section_01.html) - a great introduction I used to understand rvalue references, perfect forwarding, and move semantics.
