Given two positive integers n and m. The problem is to check whether n is divisible by 2m or not without using arithmetic operators.

Examples: 

Input : n = 8, m = 2
Output : Yes

Input : n = 14, m = 3
Output : No

Approach: If a number is divisible by 2 then it has its least significant bit (LSB) set to 0, if divisible by 4 then two LSB’s set to 0, if by 8 then three LSB’s set to 0, and so on. Keeping this in mind, a number n is divisible by 2m if (n & ((1 << m) – 1)) is equal to 0 else not. 

C++




// C++ implementation to check whether n
// is divisible by pow(2, m)
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
 
using namespace std;
 
// function to check whether n
// is divisible by pow(2, m)
bool isDivBy2PowerM(unsigned int n,
                    unsigned int m)
{
    // if expression results to 0, then
    // n is divisible by pow(2, m)
    if ((n & ((1 << m) - 1)) == 0)
        return true;
 
    // n is not divisible
    return false;
}
 
// Driver program to test above
int main()
{
    unsigned int n = 8, m = 2;
    if (isDivBy2PowerM(n, m))
        cout << "Yes";
    else
        cout << "No";
    return 0;
}

// JAVA Code for Check if n is divisible 
// by power of 2 without using arithmetic

class GFG {
     
    // function to check whether n

        // if expression results to 0, then
        // n is divisible by pow(2, m)
        if ((n & ((1 << m) - 1)) == 0)
            return true;
      
        // n is not divisible
        return false;
    }
     
    /* Driver program to test above function */
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
            int n = 8, m = 2;
             
            if (isDivBy2PowerM(n, m))
                System.out.println("Yes");

                System.out.println("No");
