3125. Maximum Number That Makes Result of Bitwise AND Zero πŸ”’

Description

Given an integer n, return the maximum integer x such that x <= n, and the bitwise AND of all the numbers in the range [x, n] is 0.

 

Example 1:

Input: n = 7

Output: 3

Explanation:

The bitwise AND of [6, 7] is 6.
The bitwise AND of [5, 6, 7] is 4.
The bitwise AND of [4, 5, 6, 7] is 4.
The bitwise AND of [3, 4, 5, 6, 7] is 0.

Example 2:

Input: n = 9

Output: 7

Explanation:

The bitwise AND of [7, 8, 9] is 0.

Example 3:

Input: n = 17

Output: 15

Explanation:

The bitwise AND of [15, 16, 17] is 0.

 

Constraints:

  • 1 <= n <= 1015

Solutions

Solution 1: Bit Manipulation

We can find the highest bit of $1$ in the binary representation of $n$. The maximum $x$ must be less than $n$ and this bit is $0$, and all other lower bits are $1$, i.e., $x = 2^{\textit{number of the highest bit}} - 1$. This is because $x \textit{ and } (x + 1) = 0$ must hold.

The time complexity is $O(\log n)$, and the space complexity is $O(1)$.
