Count subarrays made up of elements having exactly K set bits

Given an array arr[] consisting of N integers and an integer K, the task is to count the number of subarrays possible consisting of elements having exactly K set bits.

Examples:

Input: arr[] = {4, 2, 1, 5, 6}, K = 2
Output: 3
Explanation: The subarrays made up of elements having exactly 2 set bits are {5}, {6} and {5, 6}.

Input: arr[] = {4, 2, 1, 5, 6}, K = 1
Output: 6

Naive Approach: The simplest approach to solve the problem is to generate all possible subarrays of the given array and count those subarrays made up of elements having exactly K set bits. Finally, print the count of such subarrays. 

Time Complexity: O(N³log(M)), where M is the largest element in the array.
Auxiliary Space: O(1)

Efficient Approach: The idea is to keep the track of consecutive array elements with K set bits and find the count of subarrays with those consecutive sets of elements. Follow the steps below to solve the problem:

• Initialize a variable, say res as 0, to store the total count of subarrays consisting of elements having K set bits. Initialize a variable, say count as 0, to store the count of a consecutive set of elements having K set bits.
• Traverse the given array arr[] and perform the following steps:
  • If the current element arr[i] has K set bits, then increment count by 1.
  • Otherwise, increment the value of res by (count*(count – 1)) / 2 as the total number of subarrays formed by the previous consecutive elements and set count to 0.
• After completing the above steps, print the value of res as the resultant count of subarrays.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ program for the above approach
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

// Function to count the number
// of set bits in an integer N
int countSet(int N)
{

  // Stores the count of set bits
  int ans = 0;

  // While N is non-zero
  while(N)
  {

    // If the LSB is 1, then
    // increment ans by 1
    ans += N & 1;
    N >>= 1;
  }

  // Return the total set bits
  return ans;
}

// Function to count the number of
// subarrays having made up of
// elements having K set bits
int countSub(int *arr,int k)
{

  // Stores the total count of
  // resultant subarrays
  int ans = 0;
  int setK = 0;

  // Traverse the given array
  for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
  {

    // If the current element
    // has K set bits
    if(countSet(arr[i]) == k)
      setK += 1;

    // Otherwise
    else
      setK = 0;

    // Increment count of subarrays
    ans += setK;
  }

  // Return total count of subarrays
  return ans;
}

// Driver Code
int main()
{
  int arr[] = {4, 2, 1, 5, 6};
  int K = 2;

  // Function Call
  cout<<(countSub(arr, K));
  return 0;
}
