📚 Reading the Kth Bit

To read the bit at position k (0-indexed from right):

          bit = (n >> k) & 1

          // Step 1: Shift right by k positions

          // Step 2: AND with 1 to isolate the bit

          // Example: n=42 (101010), k=3

          // 42 >> 3 = 5 (000101)

          // 5 & 1 = 1 ✓
