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
count
which is the number of bits where bothn
andnum
have 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.
Â
Constraints:
0 <= n <= 230 - 1
0 <= num <= 230 - 1
- If you ask for some
num
out of the given range, the output wouldn't be reliable.
