Tags : bit-manipulation, leetcode, cpp, medium

Given two integers left and right that represent the range [left, right], return the bitwise AND of all numbers in this range, inclusive.

Examples #

Example 1:

Input: left = 5, right = 7
Output: 4

Example 2:

Input: left = 0, right = 0
Output: 0

Example 3:

Input: left = 1, right = 2147483647
Output: 0

class Solution {
public:
    int rangeBitwiseAnd(int left, int right) {
        if(left == 0 || right == 0) return 0;
        if(left == right) return left;
        if(left == right-1) return left&right;
        if((int)log2(left) != (int)log2(right)) return 0;
        else{
            int ans = left;
            for(int i=left+1;i<=right;i++)
                ans&=i;
