Modify a bit at a given position
Given a number n, a position p and a binary value b, we need to change the bit at position p in n to value b.
Examples :
Input : n = 7, p = 2, b = 0 Output : 3 7 is 00000111 after clearing bit at 2nd position, it becomes 0000011. Input : n = 7, p = 3, b = 1 Output : 15 7 is 00000111 after setting bit at 3rd position it becomes 00001111.
We first create a mask that has set bit only at given position using bit wise shift. mask = 1 << position Then to change value of bit to b, we first make it 0 using below operation value & ~mask After changing it 0, we change it to b by doing or of above expression with following (b << p) & mask, i.e., we return ((n & ~mask) | (b << p))
Below is the implementation of above steps :
C++
// CPP program to modify a bit at position // p in n to b. #include <bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std; // Returns modified n. int modifyBit( int n, int p, int b) { int mask = 1 << p; return ((n & ~mask) | (b << p)); } // Driver code int main() { cout << modifyBit(6, 2, 0) << endl; cout << modifyBit(6, 5, 1) << endl; return 0; } |
C
// C program to modify a bit at position // p in n to b. #include <stdio.h> // Returns modified n. int modifyBit( int n, int p, int b) { int mask = 1 << p; return ((n & ~mask) | (b << p)); } // Driver code int main() { printf ( "%d\n" ,modifyBit(6, 2, 0)); printf ( "%d\n" ,modifyBit(6, 5, 1)); return 0; } // This code is contributed by kothvvsaakash. |
Java
// Java program to modify a bit // at position p in n to b. import java.io.*; class GFG { // Returns modified n. public static int modifyBit( int n, int p, int b) { int mask = 1 << p; return (n & ~mask) | ((b << p) & mask); } // Driver Code public static void main (String[] args) { System.out.println(modifyBit( 6 , 2 , 0 )); System.out.println (modifyBit( 6 , 5 , 1 )); } } // This code is contributed by m_kit |
Python3
# Python3 program to modify a bit at position # p in n to b. # Returns modified n. def modifyBit( n, p, b): mask = 1 << p return (n & ~mask) | ((b << p) & mask) # Driver code def main(): print (modifyBit( 6 , 2 , 0 )) print (modifyBit( 6 , 5 , 1 )) if __name__ = = '__main__' : main() # This code is contributed by PrinciRaj1992 |
C#
// C# program to modify a bit // at position p in n to b. using System; class GFG { // Returns modified n. public static int modifyBit( int n, int p, int b) { int mask = 1 << p; return (n & ~mask) | ((b << p) & mask); } // Driver Code static public void Main () { Console.WriteLine(modifyBit(6, 2, 0)); Console.WriteLine(modifyBit(6, 5, 1)); } } // This code is contributed by ajit |
PHP
<?php // PHP program to modify a bit // at position p in n to b. // Returns modified n. function modifyBit( $n , $p , $b ) { $mask = 1 << $p ; return ( $n & ~ $mask ) | (( $b << $p ) & $mask ); } // Driver code echo modifyBit(6, 2, 0), "\n" ; echo modifyBit(6, 5, 1) , "\n" ; // This code is contributed by ajit ?> |
Javascript
<script> // Javascript program to modify a bit // at position p in n to b. // Returns modified n. function modifyBit(n, p, b) { let mask = 1 << p; return (n & ~mask) | ((b << p) & mask); } // Driver code document.write(modifyBit(6, 2, 0) + "<br/>" ); document.write(modifyBit(6, 5, 1)); // This code is contributed by susmitakundugoaldanga </script> |
