Check if bitwise AND of any subset is power of two in Python

Suppose we have an array of numbers called nums. We have to check whether there exists any subset of the nums whose bitwise AND is a power of two or not.

So, if the input is like nums = [22, 25, 9], then the output will be True, as a subset {22, 9} the binary form is {10110, 1001} the AND of these two is 10000 = 16 which is power of 2.

To solve this, we will follow these steps −

• MAX := 32 considering there are 32 bits numbers at max
• Define a function solve() . This will take nums
• if size of nums is 1, then
  • return true when nums[0] is power of 2, otherwise false
• total := 0
• for i in range 0 to MAX - 1, do
  • total := total OR 2^i
• for i in range 0 to MAX - 1, do
  • ret := total
  • for j in range 0 to size of nums, do
    • if nums[j] AND (2^i) is non-zero, then
      • ret := ret AND nums[j]
  • if ret is power of 2, then
    • return True
• return False

Let us see the following implementation to get better understanding −

Example

 Live Demo

MAX = 32
def is_2s_pow(v):
   return v and (v & (v - 1)) == 0
def solve(nums):
   if len(nums) == 1:
      return is_2s_pow(nums[0])
      total = 0
   for i in range(0, MAX):
      total = total | (1 << i)
   for i in range(0, MAX):
      ret = total
      for j in range(0, len(nums)):
         if nums[j] & (1 << i):
            ret = ret & nums[j]
      if is_2s_pow(ret):
         return True
   return False
nums = [22, 25, 9]
print(solve(nums))

Input

[22, 25, 9]

Output

True
