Check if a number has same number of set and unset bits

Given a number N, the task is to check whether the count of the set and unset bits in the given number are same. 
Examples: 
 

Input: 12
Output: Yes
1100 is the binary representation of 12
which has 2 set and 2 unset bits 
 



Input: 14
Output: No

 



Approach: Traverse in the binary representation of the given number, check if the leftmost bit is set or not using n & 1. If n & 1 returns 1, then the left most bit is set. Right, shift the number every time by 1 to check the next bit. Once the binary representation is traversed completely, check if the number of set bit and unset bits are same. If they are same, print “YES” else print “NO”. 
Below is the implementation of the above approach: 
 




// C++ program to check if a number
// has same number of set and unset bits
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to check if a number
// has same setbits and unset bits
bool checkSame(int n)
{
    int set = 0, unset = 0;
 
    // iterate for all bits of a number
    while (n) {
 
        // if set
        if (n & 1)
            set++;
        // if unset
        else
            unset++;
 
        // right shift number by 1
        n = n >> 1;
    }
 
    // is number of set bits are
    // equal to unset bits
    if (set == unset)
        return true;
    else
        return false;
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    int n = 12;
 
    // function to check
    if (checkSame(n))
        cout << "YES";
    else
        cout << "NO";
    return 0;
}

// a number has same number
// of set and unset bits

static boolean checkSame(int n)
{
    int set = 0;
    int unset = 0;
 
    // iterate for all
    // bits of a number
    while (n > 0)
    {
 
        // if set
        if ((n & 1) ==  1)
            set++;
             
        // if unset
        else
            unset++;
 
        // right shift
        // number by 1
        n = n >> 1;
    }
 
    // is number of set bits
    // are equal to unset bits
    if (set == unset)
        return true;
    else
        return false;
}
 
// Driver Code

    System.out.println ("YES");
else
