Check whether K-th bit is set or not
Given a number n, check if k-th bit of n is set or not.
Examples:
Input : n = 5, k = 1 Output : SET 5 is represented as 101 in binary and has its first bit set. Input : n = 2, k = 3 Output : NOT SET 2 is represented as 10 in binary, all higher i.e. beyond MSB, bits are NOT SET.
Method 1 (Using Left Shift Operator)
Below are simple steps to find value of k-th bit
1) Left shift given number 1 by k-1 to create
a number that has only set bit as k-th bit.
temp = 1 << (k-1)
2) If bitwise AND of n and temp is non-zero,
then result is SET else result is NOT SET.
Example:
n = 75 and k = 4 temp = 1 << (k-1) = 1 << 3 = 8 Binary Representation of temp = 0..00001000 Binary Representation of n = 0..01001011 Since bitwise AND of n and temp is non-zero, result is SET.

Method 2 (Using Right Shift Operator)
If we right shift n by k-1, we get last bit as 1 if k-th bit is set else 0.
