Check if given number is a power of d where d is a power of 2

Last Updated : 13 Apr, 2021

Given an integer n, find whether it is a power of d or not, where d is itself a power of 2.
Examples:

Input : n = 256, d = 16
Output : Yes

Input : n = 32, d = 16
Output : No

Method 1 Take log of the given number on base d, and if we get an integer then number is power of d.
Method 2 Keep dividing the number by d, i.e, do n = n/d iteratively. In any iteration, if n%d becomes non-zero and n is not 1 then n is not a power of d, otherwise n is a power of d.
Method 3(Bitwise)
A number n is a power of d if following conditions are met.
a) There is only one bit set in the binary representation of n (Note : d is a power of 2)
b) The count of zero bits before the (only) set bit is a multiple of log₂(d).
For example: For n = 16 (10000) and d = 4, 16 is a power of 4 because there is only one bit set and count of 0s before the set bit is 4 which is a multiple of log₂(4).

C++

// of d where d is power of 2.

}
 
bool isPowerOfd(unsigned int n, unsigned int d)
{
int count = 0;
 
/* Check if there is only one bit set in n*/
if (n && !(n&(n-1)) )
{
    /* count 0 bits before set bit */
    while (n > 1)
    {
    n >>= 1;
    count += 1;
    }    
 
    /* If count is a multiple of log2(d)
    then return true else false*/
    return (count%(Log2n(d)) == 0);
}
 
/* If there are more than 1 bit set
    then n is not a power of 4*/
return false;
