/*
* Find the 2 elements which are non repeating in an array
/**
* Find the 2 elements which are non-repeating in an array
* Reason to use bitwise operator: It makes our program faster as we are operating on bits and not
* on actual numbers.
*
* Explanation of the code:
* Let us assume we have an array [1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4]
* Property of XOR: num ^ num = 0.
* If we XOR all the elements of the array, we will be left with 3 ^ 4 as 1 ^ 1
* and 2 ^ 2 would give 0. Our task is to find num1 and num2 from the result of 3 ^ 4 = 7.
* We need to find the two's complement of 7 and find the rightmost set bit, i.e., (num & (-num)).
* Two's complement of 7 is 001, and hence res = 1. There can be 2 options when we Bitwise AND this res
* with all the elements in our array:
* 1. The result will be a non-zero number.
* 2. The result will be 0.
* In the first case, we will XOR our element with the first number (which is initially 0).
* In the second case, we will XOR our element with the second number (which is initially 0).
* This is how we will get non-repeating elements with the help of bitwise operators.
