Increment a number without using ++ or +
The task is to Increment a number without using ++ and + operators.
Examples:
Input : 3 Output : 4 Input : 9 Output : 10
The idea is based on the fact that the negative numbers are stored using 2’s complement form. 2’s complement form is obtained by inverting bits and then adding one. So if we invert all bits of given number and apply negative sign, we get the number plus 1.
C++
// CPP program to increment an unsigned // int using bitwise operators. #include <bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std; // function that increment the value. int increment(unsigned int i) { // Invert bits and apply negative sign i = -(~i); return i; } // Driver code int main() { int n = 3; cout << increment(n); return 0; } |

It also works for characters.
Example:
Input : a Output : b Input : o Output : p
C++
// CPP program to increment an unsigned // char using bitwise operators. #include <bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std; // function that increment the value. char increment(unsigned char i) { // Invert bits and apply negative sign i = -(~i); return i; } // Driver code int main() { char n = 'a'; cout << increment(n); return 0; } |
