In this tutorial, we are going to write a program that finds the largest number which is less than given x and should have at most k set bits.Let's see the steps to solve the problem.Initialise the numbers x and k.Find the set bits in the number x.Write a loop that iterates set bits count of x - k.Update the value of x with x & (x - 1).Return x.ExampleLet's see the code.#include using namespace std; int largestNumberWithKBits(int x, int k) {    int set_bit_count = __builtin_popcount(x);    if (set_bit_count

In this tutorial, we are going to write a program that finds the largest number with prime digits that is less than n.Let's see the steps to solve the problem.Write a loop that iterates from 0 to n.If the current digit is not prime.While the digit is less 2, decrement the i value. If the i value is negative, then make it 0.Update the current index value with the next smallest prime digit.From the next index, make every digit to 7.Return n.ExampleLet's see the code.#include using namespace std; bool isPrime(char c) {    return c == '2' || c ...

Let’s consider an example where we would like to remove a Lua table entry. The table itself behaves like a hashmap, where it has several key value pairs, and we would like to remove an entry from that table on the basis of the key.Lua library does provide a function that we can use for our specific case. The function is table.remove() and it takes two arguments, the first argument is the name of the table and the second argument is the key that we want to remove.ExampleConsider the example shown below −local mapone = { [1] = 10, [2] ...
