Given a non-negative number n and two values l and r. The problem is to set the bits in the range l to r in the binary representation of n, i.e, to unset bits from the rightmost lth bit to the rightmost r-th bit.
Constraint: 1 <= l <= r <= number of bits in the binary representation of n.
Examples :
Input : n = 17, l = 2, r = 3 Output : 23 (17)10 = (10001)2 (23)10 = (10111)2 The bits in the range 2 to 3 in the binary representation of 17 are set. Input : n = 50, l = 2, r = 5 Output : 62
Approach: Following are the steps:
1. Find a number 'range' that has all set bits in given range. And all other bits of this number are 0. range = (((1 << (l - 1)) - 1) ^ ((1 << (r)) - 1)); 2. Now, perform "n = n | range". This will set the bits in the range from l to r in n.
// C++ implementation to Set bits in
// the given range
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
// function to toggle bits in the given range
int setallbitgivenrange(int n, int l, int r)
{
// calculating a number 'range' having set
// bits in the range from l to r and all other
// bits as 0 (or unset).
int range = (((1 << (l - 1)) - 1) ^
((1 << (r)) - 1));
return (n | range);
}
// Driver code
int main()
{
int n = 17, l = 2, r = 3;
cout << setallbitgivenrange(n, l, r);
return 0;
}
