Description

This issue describes how to implement the bit manipulation concept exercise for the Swift track.

## Getting started

**Please please please read the docs before starting.** Posting PRs without reading these docs will be a lot more frustrating for you during the review cycle, and exhaust Exercism's maintainers' time. So, before diving into the implementation, please read the following documents:

- [The features of v3][docs-features-of-v3].
- [Rationale for v3][docs-rationale-for-v3].
- [What are concept exercises and how are they structured?][docs-concept-exercises]

Please also watch the following video:

- [The Anatomy of a Concept Exercise][anatomy-of-a-concept-exercise].

## Goal

This concept exercise should convey a basic understanding of how to perform bit-manipulation in Swift.

## Things to teach

- Bitwise AND
- Bitwise OR
- Bitwise NOT
- Bitwise XOR
- Bitwise Left and right shifts

## Things not to teach

- Operations that can be built out of bitwise operations

## Concepts

- `bit-manipulation`

## Prerequisites

- `basics`
- `numbers`

## Resources to refer to

### Hints

- [Swift Language Guide - Bitwise operators][bitwise-operators]

### After

- [Swift Language Guide - Bitwise operators][bitwise-operators]

## Representer

TBD

## Analyzer

TBD

## Implementing

See [the Swift track implementation guide][swift-implementing-concept-exercises] for guidance.

## Help

If you have any questions while implementing the exercise, please post the questions as comments in this issue.
