Given an array arr[]. The task is to find an element from arr[] which has the maximum count of set bits.
Examples:
Input: arr[] = {10, 100, 1000, 10000}
Output: 1000
Binary(10) = 1010 (2 set bits)
Binary(100) = 1100100 (3 set bits)
Binary(1000) = 1111101000 (6 set bits)
Binary(10000) = 10011100010000 (5 set bits)
Input: arr[] = {3, 2, 4, 7, 1, 10, 5, 8, 9, 6}
Output: 7
Approach: Traverse the array and find the count of set bits in the current element and find the element with the maximum number of set bits.
Below is the implementation of the above approach:
// C++ implementation of the approach #include <bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std; ;
// Function to return the element from the array // which has the maximum set bits int maxBitElement( int arr[], int n)
{ // To store the required element and
// the maximum set bits so far
int num = 0, max = -1;
for ( int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
// Count of set bits in
// the current element
int cnt = __builtin_popcount(arr[i]);
// Update the max
if (cnt > max) {
max = cnt;
num = arr[i];
}
}
return num;
} // Driver code int main()
{ int arr[] = { 3, 2, 4, 7, 1, 10, 5, 8, 9, 6 };
int n = sizeof (arr)/ sizeof (arr[0]) ;
cout << maxBitElement(arr, n) << endl;
return 0 ;

int cnt = Integer.bitCount(arr[i]);

max = cnt;
num = arr[i];
