Check if binary representations of two numbers are anagram in Python

Suppose we have two numbers x and y we have to check whether the binary representation of x and y are anagram of each other or not.

So, if the input is like x = 9 y = 12, then the output will be True as binary representation of 9 is 1001 and binary representation of 12 is 1100, so these two are anagram of each other.

To solve this, we will follow these steps −

• if number of 1s in x and y are same, then
  • return True
• return False

Let us see the following implementation to get better understanding −

Example

 Live Demo

def set_bit_count(num) :
   cnt = 0
   while num:
      cnt += num & 1
      num >>= 1
   return cnt
def solve(x, y) :
   if set_bit_count(x) == set_bit_count(y):
      return True
   return False
x = 9
y = 12
print(solve(x, y))

Input

9, 12

Output

True
