Given a positive integer n, count numbers x such that 0 < x <n and x^n > n where ^ is bitwise XOR operation.
Examples:
Input : n = 12 Output : 3 Numbers are 1, 2 and 3 1^12 > 12, 2^12 > 12 and 3^12 > 12 Input : n = 11 Output : 4 Numbers are 4, 5, 6 and 7
A number may x produce a greater XOR value if x has a set bit at a position where n has a 0 bit. So we traverse bits of n, and one by one consider all 0 bits. For every set bit at position k (Considering k = 0 for rightmost bit, k = 1 for second rightmost bit, ..), we add 2 2k to result. For a bit at k-th position, there are 2k numbers with set bit 1.
Below is the implementation of the above idea.
Output:
4
Time complexity: O(logn)
Auxiliary Space: O(1)
