Check if one of the numbers is one’s complement of the other in Python
Suppose we have two numbers x and y. We have to check whether one of these two numbers is 1's complement of the other or not. We all know the 1's complement of a binary number is flipping all bits from 0 to 1 or 1 to 0.
So, if the input is like x = 9, y = 6, then the output will be True as the binary representations are x = 1001 and y = 0110 which are complement of each other.
To solve this, we will follow these steps −
- z = x XOR y
- return true when all bits in z are set, otherwise false
Example
Let us see the following implementation to get better understanding −
def all_one(n): if n == 0: return False; if ((n + 1) & n) == 0: return True return False def solve(x, y): return all_one(x ^ y) x = 9 y = 6 print(solve(x, y))
Input
9, 6
Output
True
