1256. Encode Number 🔒

Description

Given a non-negative integer num, Return its encoding string.

The encoding is done by converting the integer to a string using a secret function that you should deduce from the following table:

 

Example 1:

Input: num = 23

Output: "1000"

Example 2:

Input: num = 107

Output: "101100"

 

Constraints:

• 0 <= num <= 10^9

Solutions

Solution 1: Bit Manipulation

We add one to \(num\), then convert it to a binary string and remove the highest bit \(1\).

The time complexity is \(O(\log n)\), and the space complexity is \(O(\log n)\). Where \(n\) is the size of \(num\).

class Solution:
    def encode(self, num: int) -> str:
        return bin(num + 1)[3:]

class Solution {
    public String encode(int num) {
        return Integer.toBinaryString(num + 1).substring(1);
    }

class Solution {
public:
    string encode(int num) {
        bitset<32> bs(++num);
        string ans = bs.to_string();
        int i = 0;
        while (ans[i] == '0') {
            ++i;
        }
        return ans.substr(i + 1);
    }
};

function encode(num: number): string {
