Bit ManipulationLeetCode 191

Easy

From the first idea to the best one

  1. 01 Check each bit O(#bits)O(1) space
  2. 02 Optimized · n & (n − 1) O(#set bits)O(1) space
Each approach plays step by step, with its time and space.

What you will learn

  • How to read Number of 1 Bits and spot the bit manipulation pattern in it
  • Check each bit: O(#bits) time, O(1) space
  • Optimized · n & (n − 1): O(#set bits) time, O(1) space
  • The pseudocode for each approach, its line lit as the animation runs
  • Practice: write your own pseudocode and get it checked
