Given an integer A, the task is to find the maximum value possible(B) which is less than A, such that xor of these two numbers A and B are equal to their sum, that is A ^ B = A + B.

Examples:  

Input: A = 4 
Output:
Explanation: 
There are many such integers, such that A ^ B = A + B 
Some of these integers are – 
4 ^ 3 = 4 + 3 = 7 
4 ^ 2 = 4 + 2 = 6 
4 ^ 1 = 4 + 1 = 5 
4 ^ 0 = 4 + 0 = 4 
The maximum of these values is 3

Input:
Output:
There is no integer except 0 such that A + B = A ^ B 

Approach: The idea is to use the fact that 

A + B &= (A \wedge B) + 2*(A \& B) and to get the value of A + B = A \wedge B, the value of (A & B) must be equal to 0.   

=> A & B = 0
=> B = ~A

For Example:  

A = 4 (1 0 0)  
B = ~ A = (0 1 1) = 3 


 Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ implementation to find
// maximum value of B such that
// A ^ B = A + B
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to find the maximum
// value of B such that A^B = A+B
void maxValue(int a)
{
     
    // Binary Representation of A
    string c = bitset<3>(a).to_string();
    string b = "";
     
    // Loop to find the negation
    // of the integer A
    for(int i = 0; i < c.length(); i++)
    {
        if ((c[i] - '0') == 1)
            b += '0';
        else
            b += '1';
    }
        
    // Output
    cout << bitset<3>(b).to_ulong();
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    int a = 4;
     
    // Function Call
    maxValue(a);
     
    return 0;
}

static void maxValue(int a)
{
      
    // Binary Representation of A
    String c = Integer.toBinaryString(a);
     
    String b = "";
      
    // Loop to find the negation
    // of the integer A
    for (int i = 0; i < c.length(); i++)
    {
        if((c.charAt(i)-'0')==1)
            b +='0';
        else
            b+='1';
    }
      
    // output
    System.out.print(Integer.parseInt(b, 2));
    
}
  
// Driver Code
public static void main(String []args)
{
    int a = 4;
      
    // Function Call
    maxValue(a);
}
}

    }
        
    // Output
    document.write(parseInt(b,2));
}
 
// Driver code
var a = 4;
 
// Function Call
maxValue(a);
</script>

                    

Output: 
3

 

Performance Analysis: 

  • Time Complexity: In the above-given approach, there is the conversion from decimal to binary which takes O(logN) time in the worst case. Therefore, the time complexity for this approach will be O(logN).
  • Auxiliary Space Complexity: In the above-given approach, there is no extra space used. Therefore, the auxiliary space complexity for the above approach will be O(1)
