Set the Left most unset bit

Given an integer, set the leftmost unset bit. Leftmost unset bit is the first unset bit after most significant set bit. If all bits (after most significant set bit) are set, then return the number.

Examples: 

Input : 10
Output : 14
10 = 1 0 1 0    // 10 binary
14 = 1 1 1 0    // after set left most unset bit

Input : 15      
Output : 15
15 = 1 1 1 1    // 15 binary
15 = 1 1 1 1    // because all bits are set

Approach:- 
1. Return the number if all bits are set. 
2. Traverse all the bit to get the last unset bit. 
3. Take OR with the original number and the unset bit.

Below is the implementation of the approach. 

C++




// C++ program to set the leftmost unset bit
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
 
// set left most unset bit
int setleftmostunsetbit(int n)
{
    // if number contain all
    // 1 then return n
    if ((n & (n + 1)) == 0)
        return n;
 
    // Find position of leftmost unset bit.
    int pos = 0;
    for (int temp=n, count=0; temp>0;
                        temp>>=1, count++)
 
        // if temp L.S.B is zero
        // then unset bit pos is
        // change
        if ((temp & 1) == 0)
            pos = count;  
 
    // return OR of number and
    // unset bit pos
    return (n | (1 << (pos)));
}
 
// Driver Function
int main()
{
    int n = 10;
    cout << setleftmostunsetbit(n);
    return 0;
}


Java




// Java program to set
// the leftmost unset bit
import java.io.*;
 
class GFG
{
    // set left most unset bit
    static int setleftmostunsetbit(int n)
    {
        // if number contain all
        // 1 then return n
        if ((n & (n + 1)) == 0)
            return n;
     
        // Find position of leftmost unset bit.
        int pos = 0;
        for (int temp = n, count = 0; temp > 0;
                           temp >>= 1, count++)
     
            // if temp L.S.B is zero
            // then unset bit pos is
            // change
            if ((temp & 1) == 0)
                pos = count;
     
        // return OR of number and
        // unset bit pos
        return (n | (1 << (pos)));
    }
     
    // Driver Function
    public static void main (String[] args)
    {
        int n = 10;
        System.out.println(setleftmostunsetbit(n));
    }
}
