Toggle all odd bits of a number

Given n number, the task is to toggle odd bit of the number.
Examples: 
 

Input : 10
Output : 15
binary representation 1 0 1 0
after toggle          1 1 1 1 

Input : 20
Output : 1
binary representation 1 0 1 0 0
after toggle          0 0 0 0 1

 

1. First generate a number that contains odd position bits. 
2. Take XOR with the original number. Note that 1 ^ 1 = 0 and 1 ^ 0 = 1.
Let’s understand this approach with below code. 
 

C++




// Toggle all odd bit of a number
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
  
// Returns a number which has all odd
// bits of n toggled.
int evenbittogglenumber(int n)
{
    // Generate number form of 101010...
    // ..till of same order as n
    int res = 0, count = 0;
    for (int temp = n; temp > 0; temp >>= 1) {
  
        // if bit is odd, then generate
        // number and or with res
        if (count % 2 == 0)
            res |= (1 << count);     
  
        count++;
    }
  
    // return toggled number
    return n ^ res;
}
  
// Driver code
int main()
{
    int n = 11;
    cout << evenbittogglenumber(n);
    return 0;
}


Java




// Toggle all odd bit of a number
 
import java.io.*;
 
class GFG {
    // Returns a number which has all odd
    // bits of n toggled.
    static int evenbittogglenumber(int n)
    {
        // Generate number form of 101010...
        // ..till of same order as n
        int res = 0, count = 0;
        for (int temp = n; temp > 0; temp >>= 1) {
       
            // if bit is odd, then generate
            // number and or with res
            if (count % 2 == 0)
                res |= (1 << count);     
       
            count++;
        }
       
        // return toggled number
        return n ^ res;
    }
       
    // Driver code
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        int n = 11;
        System.out.println(evenbittogglenumber(n));
    }
}
