fn bitwise_op<F: AcirField>(
lhs: F,
rhs: F,
num_bits: u32,
op: fn(u8, u8) -> u8,
) -> FExpand description
Performs a bitwise operation on two field elements by treating them as byte arrays.
Both field elements are converted to little-endian byte arrays and masked to keep only
the lowest num_bits bits. The provided operation op is then applied byte-by-byte,
and the result is converted back to a field element.
This function works for any num_bits value and does not assume it to be a multiple of 8.
