05.07. Exchange

Description

Write a program to swap odd and even bits in an integer with as few instructions as possible (e.g., bit 0 and bit 1 are swapped, bit 2 and bit 3 are swapped, and so on).

Example1:

 Input: num = 2（0b10）

 Output 1 (0b01)

Example2:

 Input: num = 3

 Output: 3

Note:

1. 0 <= num <= 2^30 - 1
2. The result integer fits into 32-bit integer.

Solutions

Solution 1: Bit Manipulation

We can perform a bitwise AND operation between num and 0x55555555 to get the even bits of num, and then shift them one bit to the left. Then, we perform a bitwise AND operation between num and 0xaaaaaaaa to get the odd bits of num, and then shift them one bit to the right. Finally, we perform a bitwise OR operation on the two results to get the answer.

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