Problem Statement Given a integer array nums of length n (0-indexed) and an integer k, you may perform the following operation at most k times: Select any element and multiply it by 2 Return the maximum value of nums[0] | nums[1] | ... | nums[n - 1], where a | b denotes the bitwise OR operation. Examples: Example 1: Input: nums = [12,9], k = ...

Bitwise operations allow direct manipulation of individual bits within integer types. While high-level abstractions simplify development, C++ retains low-level control—enabling performance-critical optimizations, compact data encoding, and hardware-adjacent logic without resorting to assembly.
