The dude basically asked me "what weird things have you found in using C?" Odd question...
they asked me to code for such a question: the input was a string and I was supposed to output the longest sub string with only 2 distinct chars in the sub string.
Assume you have a binary number 00110010, you apply some function on it and the number changes to some random number 10100011. Write a function to determine which numbers flipped from 0 to 1 and which bits flipped from 1 to 0. (You will have to write 2 different functions for 0 to 1 and 1 to 0).
