Set the K-th bit of a given number

Given a number n and a value k. From the right, set the kth bit in the binary representation of n. The position of LSB(or last bit) is 0, second last bit is 1 and so on. Also, 0 <= k < x, where x is the number of bits in the binary representation of n.
Examples: 
 

Input : n = 10, k = 2
Output : 14
(10)10 = (1010)2
Now, set the 2nd bit from right.
(14)10 = (1110)2
2nd bit has been set.

Input : n = 15, k = 3
Output : 15
3rd bit of 15 is already set.

To set any bit we use bitwise OR | operator. As we already know bitwise OR | operator evaluates each bit of the result to 1 if any of the operand's corresponding bit is set (1). In-order to set kth bit of a number we need to shift 1 k times to its left and then perform bitwise OR operation with the number and result of left shift performed just before. 
 

 In general, (1 << k) | n.

Output: 
 

Kth bit set number = 14
