Maximize the number by flipping at most K bits

Given an integer N, the task is to find the greatest number that can be obtained by flipping at most K bits in the binary representation of N.
Examples: 

Input: N = 4, K = 1 
Output:
The binary equivalent of 4 is 100. 
On flipping the 1st 0, we get 110 
which is equivalent to 6.
Input: N = 5, K = 2 
Output:

Approach:  

  • If the number of 0s in the binary representation of N is less than K then flip all the 0s.
  • If the number of 0s is greater than or equal to K then flip the most significant K 0s.
  • Finally, print the maximized integer.

Below is the implementation of the above approach: 
 

C++




// C++ implementation of the approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to convert decimal number n
// to its binary representation
// stored as an array arr[]
void decBinary(int arr[], int n)
{
    int k = log2(n);
    while (n > 0) {
        arr[k--] = n % 2;
        n /= 2;
    }
}
 
// Function to convert the number
// represented as a binary array
// arr[] into its decimal equivalent
int binaryDec(int arr[], int n)
{
    int ans = 0;
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
        ans += arr[i] << (n - i - 1);
    return ans;
}
 
// Function to return the maximized
// number by flipping atmost k bits
int maxNum(int n, int k)
{
 
    // Number of bits in n
    int l = log2(n) + 1;
 
    // Find the binary representation of n
    int a[l] = { 0 };
    decBinary(a, n);
 
    // To count the number of 0s flipped
    int cn = 0;
    for (int i = 0; i < l; i++) {
        if (a[i] == 0 && cn < k) {
            a[i] = 1;
            cn++;
        }
    }
 
    // Return the decimal equivalent
    // of the maximized number
    return binaryDec(a, l);
}
 
// Driver code

{
    int n = 4, k = 1;

    return 0;
}
