By bit operation I think he literally means an operation that directly operates on/manipulates bits. Although the only way I see to do this is to set aside an array of that many bits (via creating an array of 4 integers, which are 32 bits each in Java), then by using some specific operation such as OR (where each int in the array was initialized to 0). Probably not the solution he wants though.
