Given two integers M and N the task is to find the number formed by concatenating the binary equivalents of M and N i.e. M + N.

Examples: 

Input: M = 4, N = 5 
Output: 37 
Binary equivalent of 4 is 100 and for 5 it is 101 
after concatenation, the resultant binary number 
formed is 100101 whose decimal equivalent is 37.

Input: M = 3, N = 4 
Output: 28 

Approach: Convert both the numbers M and N into their binary equivalents then concatenate these numbers as M + N and print the decimal equivalent of the resulting binary number formed after concatenation.

Below is the implementation of the above approach: 

C++




// C++ implementation of the approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to convert decimal number n
// to its binary representation
// stored as an array arr[]
void decBinary(int arr[], int n)
{
    int k = log2(n);
    while (n > 0) {
        arr[k--] = n % 2;
        n /= 2;
    }
}
 
// Function to convert the number
// represented as a binary array
// arr[] into its decimal equivalent
int binaryDec(int arr[], int n)
{
    int ans = 0;
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
        ans += arr[i] << (n - i - 1);
    return ans;
}
 
// Function to concatenate the binary
// numbers and return the decimal result
int concat(int m, int n)
{
 
    // Number of bits in both the numbers
    int k = log2(m) + 1;
    int l = log2(n) + 1;
 
    // Convert the bits in both the integers
    // to the arrays a[] and b[]
    int a[k] = { 0 }, b[l] = { 0 };
 
    // c[] will be the binary array
    // for the result
    int c[k + l] = { 0 };
    decBinary(a, m);
    decBinary(b, n);
 
    // Update the c[] array
    int in = 0;
    for (int i = 0; i < k; i++)
        c[in++] = a[i];
    for (int i = 0; i < l; i++)
        c[in++] = b[i];
 
    // Return the decimal equivalent
    // of the result
    return (binaryDec(c, k + l));
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    int m = 4, n = 5;
 
    cout << concat(m, n);
 
    return 0;
}

Output

37

Time Complexity: O(log(m) + log(n)), We can improve the time complexity for the above problem to O(log(n)) by using binary shift operators.
Auxiliary Space: O(1) 

Better Approach: We will binary shift the number M to left by the number of bits in n.

Example:

M=4, N=5

bin(N) = 101 which has binary representation three.

We will left binary shift M by 3 and then add N.

M<<3 + N = 37.

As binary shift operators take constant time so second step is done in constant time and overall time complexity is O(log(N)).

Below is the implementation of above approach:

// C++ implementation of the approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Utility function to calculate binary
// length of a number.
int getBinaryLength(int n)
{
    int length = 0;
    while (n > 0) {
        length += 1;
        n /= 2;
    }
    return length;
}
 
// Function to concatenate the binary
// numbers and return the decimal result

{
    // find binary length of n
    int length = getBinaryLength(n);
 
    // left binary shift m and then add n
    return (m << length) + n;
}
 
// Driver code

    int m = 4, n = 5;
