Given an integer N, the task is to find whether the bits of N can be arranged in alternating manner i.e. either 0101… or 10101…. Assume that N is represented as a 32 bit integer.
Examples: 
 

Input: N = 23 
Output: No 
“00000000000000000000000000010111” is the binary representation of 23 
and the required permutation of bits is not possible.
Input: N = 524280 
Output: Yes 
binary(524280) = “00000000000001111111111111111000” which can be 
rearranged to “01010101010101010101010101010101”. 
 

 

Approach: Since the given integer has to be represented in 32 bits and the number of 1s must be equal to the number of 0s in its binary representation to satisfy the given condition. So, the number of set bits in N must be 16 which can be easily calculated using __builtin_popcount()
Below is the implementation of the above approach: 
 

C++




// C++ implementation of the approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
const int TOTAL_BITS = 32;
 
// Function that returns true if it is
// possible to arrange the bits of
// n in alternate fashion
bool isPossible(int n)
{
 
    // To store the count of 1s in the
    // binary representation of n
    int cnt = __builtin_popcount(n);
 
    // If the number set bits and the
    // number of unset bits is equal
    if (cnt == TOTAL_BITS / 2)
        return true;
    return false;
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    int n = 524280;
 
    if (isPossible(n))
        cout << "Yes";
    else
        cout << "No";
 
    return 0;
}


Java




// Java implementation of the approach
import java.util.*;
     
class GFG
{
 
static int TOTAL_BITS = 32;
 
// Function that returns true if it is
// possible to arrange the bits of
// n in alternate fashion
static boolean isPossible(int n)
{
 
    // To store the count of 1s in the
    // binary representation of n
    int cnt = Integer.bitCount(n);
 
    // If the number set bits and the
    // number of unset bits is equal
    if (cnt == TOTAL_BITS / 2)
        return true;
    return false;
}
 
// Driver code
static public void main (String []arr)
{
    int n = 524280;
 
    if (isPossible(n))
        System.out.println("Yes");
    else
        System.out.println("No");
}
}

Python3




# Python3 implementation of the approach
TOTAL_BITS = 32;
 
# Function that returns true if it is
# possible to arrange the bits of
# n in alternate fashion
def isPossible(n) :
 
    # To store the count of 1s in the
    # binary representation of n
    cnt = bin(n).count('1');
 
    # If the number set bits and the
    # number of unset bits is equal
    if (cnt == TOTAL_BITS // 2) :
        return True;
         
    return False;
 
# Driver code
if __name__ == "__main__" :
 
    n = 524280;
 
    if (isPossible(n)) :
        print("Yes");
    else :
        print("No");

    while (value != 0)
    {
        count++;
        value &= value - 1;
    }
    return count;
}
 
// Function that returns true if it is

    // To store the count of 1s in the
    // binary representation of n

    // If the number set bits and the
    // number of unset bits is equal
    if (cnt == parseInt(TOTAL_BITS / 2))
        return true;
    return false;
}
 
// Driver code
    let n = 524280;
 
    if (isPossible(n))
        document.write("Yes");
    else
        document.write("No");

Output: 

Yes

 

Time Complexity: O(log n)

Auxiliary Space: O(1)
