Problem
There is a number n between 0 and 230 - 1 (both inclusive) that you have to find.
There is a pre-defined API int commonBits(int num) that helps you with your mission. But here is the challenge, every time you call this function, n changes in some way. But keep in mind, that you have to find the initial value of n.
commonBits(int num) acts as follows:
- Calculate
countwhich is the number of bits where bothnandnumhave the same value in that position of their binary representation. n = n XOR num- Return
count.
Return the number n.
Note: In this world, all numbers are between 0 and 230 - 1 (both inclusive), thus for counting common bits, we see only the first 30 bits of those numbers.

Constraints:
0 <= n <= 230 - 10 <= num <= 230 - 1- If you ask for some
numout of the given range, the output wouldn't be reliable.
