Given two non-negative integers N and K, the task is to invert the Kth most significant bit of N and print the number obtained after inverting the bit.
Examples: 
 

Input: N = 10, K = 1 
Output:
The binary representation of 10 is 1010
After inverting the first bit it becomes 0010 
whose decimal equivalent is 2.
Input: N = 56, K = 2 
Output: 40 
 

 

Approach: Find the number of bits in N, if the number of bits is less than K then N itself is the required answer else flip the Kth most significant bit of N and print the number obtained after flipping it.
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 return the updated integer
// after flipping the kth bit
int getNum(int n, int k)
{
 
    // Number of bits in n
    int l = log2(n) + 1;
 
    // Find the binary
    // representation of n
    int a[l] = { 0 };
    decBinary(a, n);
 
    // The number of bits in n
    // are less than k
    if (k > l)
        return n;
 
    // Flip the kth bit
    a[k - 1] = (a[k - 1] == 0) ? 1 : 0;
 
    // Return the decimal equivalent
    // of the number
    return binaryDec(a, l);
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    int n = 56, k = 2;
 
    cout << getNum(n, k);
 
    return 0;
}

        {

    {
     
        // Number of bits in n

        // Find the binary
        // representation of n
        int a[] = new int[l];
        decBinary(a, n);
     
        // The number of bits in n
