Given a non-negative number n and two values l and r. The problem is to check whether all the bits are unset or not in the range l to r in the binary representation of n
Constraint: 1 <= l <= r <= number of bits in the binary representation of n.
Examples: 
 

Input : n = 17, l = 2, r = 4
Output : Yes
(17)10 = (10001)2
The bits in the range 2 to 4 are all unset.

Input : n = 36, l = 3, r = 5
Output : No
(36)10 = (100100)2
The bits in the range 3 to 5 are all not unset.

 

Approach: Following are the steps:
 

  1. Calculate num = ((1 << r) – 1) ^ ((1 << (l-1)) – 1). This will produce a number num having r number of bits and bits in the range l to r are the only set bits.
  2. Calculate new_num = n & num.
  3. If new_num == 0, return “Yes” (all bits are unset in the given range).
  4. Else return “No” (all bits are not unset in the given range).

// the bits are unset in the given range

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// function to check whether all the bits
// are unset in the given range or not
string allBitsSetInTheGivenRange(unsigned int n,
                                unsigned int l,
                                unsigned int r)
{
    // calculating a number 'num' having 'r'
    // number of bits and bits in the range l
    // to r are the only set bits
    int num = ((1 << r) - 1) ^
            ((1 << (l - 1)) - 1);
     
    // new number which will only have
    // one or more set bits in the range
    // l to r and nowhere else
    int new_num = n & num;
     
    // if new num is 0, then all bits
    // are unset in the given range
    if (new_num == 0)
        return "Yes";
         
    // else all bits are not unset
