Find value of y mod (2 raised to power x)

Given two positive integer x and y. we have to find the value of y mod 2x. That is remainder when y is divided by 2x.
Examples:

Input : x = 3, y = 14
Output : 6
Explanation : 14 % 23 =  14 % 8 = 6.

Input : x = 4, y = 14
Output : 14
Explanation : 14 % 24 =  14 % 16 = 14.

To solve this question we can use pow() and modulo operator and can easily find the remainder.
But there are some points we should care about:

  • For higher value of x such that 2x is greater than long long int range, we can not obtain proper result.
  • Whenever y < 2x the remainder will always be y. So, in that case we can restrict ourselves to calculate value of 2x as: 
    y < 2x
log y < x
// means if log y is less than x, then 
// we can print y as remainder.
  • The maximum value of 2x for which we can store 2x in a variable is 263. This means for x > 63, y is always going to be smaller than 2x and in that case remainder of y mod 2x is y itself.

keeping in mind the above points we can approach this problem as :

if (log y < x)
    return y;
else if (x  < 63)
    return y;
else 
    return (y % (pow(2, x)))

Note: As python is limit free we can directly use mod and pow() function
