Given N, the row number of Pascal’s triangle(row starting from 0). Find the count of odd numbers in the N-th row of Pascal’s Triangle.
Prerequisite: Pascal’s Triangle | Count number of 1’s in binary representation of N

Examples:  

Input : 11
Output : 8

Input : 20
Output : 4 

Approach: It appears the answer is always a power of 2. In fact, the following theorem exists: 
THEOREM: The number of odd entries in row N of Pascal’s Triangle is 2 raised to the number of 1’s in the binary expansion of N. 
Example: Since 83 = 64 + 16 + 2 + 1 has binary expansion (1010011), then row 83 has pow(2, 4) = 16 odd numbers.

Below is the implementation of the above approach: 

C++




   
// CPP code to find the count of odd numbers
// in n-th row of Pascal's Triangle
#include <bits/stdc++.h>    
using namespace std ;
 
/* Function to get no of set
   bits in binary representation
   of positive integer n */
int countSetBits(int n)
{
    unsigned int count = 0;
    while (n)
    {
        count += n & 1;
        n >>= 1;
    }
     
    return count;
}
 
int countOfOddsPascal(int n)
{
    // Count number of 1's in binary
    // representation of n.
    int c = countSetBits(n);
     
    // Number of odd numbers in n-th
    // row is 2 raised to power the count.
    return pow(2, c);
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    int n = 20;   
    cout << countOfOddsPascal(n) ;   
    return 0;
}


Java

    /* Function to get no of set

    of positive integer n */
    static int countSetBits(int n)
    {
        long count = 0;
        while (n > 0)
        {
            count += n & 1;
            n >>= 1;
        }
         
        return (int)count;
    }
     
    static int countOfOddsPascal(int n)
    {
         
        // Count number of 1's in binary
        // representation of n.
        int c = countSetBits(n);
         
        // Number of odd numbers in n-th
        // row is 2 raised to power the
        // count.
        return (int)Math.pow(2, c);
    }
     
    // Driver code
    public static void main (String[] args)
    {
        int n = 20;
        System.out.println(
                     countOfOddsPascal(n));
    }
}
