Given a non-negative number n. Find the position of rightmost unset bit in the binary representation of n, considering the last bit at position 1, 2nd last bit at position 2 and so on. If no 0’s are there in the binary representation of n. then print “-1”.
Examples:
Input : n = 9 Output : 2 (9)10 = (1001)2 The position of rightmost unset bit in the binary representation of 9 is 2. Input : n = 32 Output : 1
Approach: Following are the steps:
- If n = 0, return 1.
- If all bits of n are set, return -1. Refer this post.
- Else perform bitwise not on the given number(operation equivalent to 1’s complement). Let it be num = ~n.
- Get the position of rightmost set bit of num. This will be the position of rightmost unset bit of n.
