Numbers whose bitwise OR and sum with N are equal

Last Updated : 12 Jun, 2022

Given a non-negative integer N, the task is to find count of non-negative integers 
less than or equal to N whose bitwise OR and sum with N are equal. 
Examples : 
 

Input : N = 3
Output : 1
0 is the only number in [0, 3]
that satisfies given property.
(0 + 3) = (0 | 3)

Input : 10
Output : 4
(0 + 10) = (0 | 10) (Both are 10)
(1 + 10) = (1 | 10) (Both are 11)
(4 + 10) = (4 | 10) (Both are 14)
(5 + 10) = (5 | 10) (Both are 15)


 


A simple solution is to traverse all numbers from 0 to N and do bitwise OR and SUM with N, if both are equal increment counter. 
Time complexity = O(N).
An efficient solution is to follow following steps. 
1. Find count of zero bit in N. 
2. Return pow(2,count).
The idea is based on the fact that bitwise OR and sum of a number x with N are equal, if and only if 
bitwise AND of x with N will is 0 
 

Let, N=10 =10102.
Bitwise AND of a number with N will be 0, if number 
contains zero bit with all respective set bit(s) of
N and either zero bit or set bit with all respective 
zero bit(s) of N (because, 0&0=1&0=0).
  e.g. 
bit : 1 0 1 0
position: 4 3 2 1
Bitwise AND of any number with N will be 0, if the number
has following bit pattern
1st position can be either 0 or 1 (2 ways)
2nd position can be 1 (1 way)
3rd position can be either 0 or 1 (2 ways)
4th position can be 1 (1 way)
Total count = 2*1*2*1 = 22 = 4.


 

Output : 
 

 4


Total time complexity: O(log2(N)) 

Auxiliary Space: O(1)
