Count of pairs whose bitwise AND is a power of 2

Last Updated : 24 Aug, 2023

Given an array arr[] of N positive integers. The task is to find the number of pairs whose Bitwise AND value is a power of 2.
Examples:

Input: arr[] = {2, 1, 3, 4}
Output: 2
Explanation:
There are 2 pairs (2, 3) and (1, 3) in this array whose Bitwise AND values are:
1. (2 & 3) = 1 = (2⁰)
2. (1 & 3) = 1 = (2⁰).
Input: arr[] = {6, 4, 2, 3}
Output: 4
Explanation:
There are 4 pairs (6, 4), (6, 2), (6, 3), (2, 3) whose Bitwise and is power of 2.

Approach 1 : For each possible pair in the given array, the idea to check whether Bitwise AND of each pairs of elements is perfect power of 2 or not. If "Yes" then count this pair Else check for the next pair.
Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ program for the above approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

// Function to check if x is power of 2
bool check(int x)
{
    // Returns true if x is a power of 2
    return x && (!(x & (x - 1)));
}

// Function to return the
// number of valid pairs
int count(int arr[], int n)
{
    int cnt = 0;

    // Iterate for all possible pairs
    for (int i = 0; i < n - 1; i++) {

        for (int j = i + 1; j < n; j++) {

            // Bitwise and value of
            // the pair is passed
            if (check(arr[i]
                      & arr[j]))
                cnt++;
        }
    }

    // Return the final count
    return cnt;
}

// Driver Code
int main()
{
    // Given array
    int arr[] = { 6, 4, 2, 3 };
    int n = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]);

    // Function Call
    cout << count(arr, n);
    return 0;
}

Java

// Java program for the above approach
class GFG{ 

// Method to check if x is power of 2
static boolean check(int x) 
{ 

    // First x in the below expression 
    // is for the case when x is 0 
    return x != 0 && ((x & (x - 1)) == 0); 
} 

// Function to return the
// number of valid pairs
static int count(int arr[], int n)
{
    int cnt = 0;

    // Iterate for all possible pairs
    for(int i = 0; i < n - 1; i++)
    {
       for(int j = i + 1; j < n; j++) 
       {
          
          // Bitwise and value of
          // the pair is passed
          if (check(arr[i] & arr[j]))
              cnt++;
       }
    }
    
    // Return the final count
    return cnt;
}

{ 
    
    // Given array arr[]
    int arr[] = new int[]{ 6, 4, 2, 3 };

    int n = arr.length;
    
    // Function call 
    System.out.print(count(arr, n));
}

Approach 2: To optimize the above approach, we can use a hash map to store the frequency of each integer in the array. Then, we can iterate through each integer i in the array and check if it is present in the hash map. If it is present, we can iterate through each integer j in the array from i to the maximum value in the array and check if it is present in the hash map. If it is present, we can find their bitwise AND using the "&" operator and check if the result has only one set bit. If it does, we can count this pair.

C++

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

long long countPairs(int arr[], int n)
{
    long long ans = 0, mx = 0;
  
    // create a hash map to store the frequency of each
    // integer in the array
    unordered_map<int, int> mp;
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
        int ai = arr[i];
        // update the frequency of each integer in the
        // hash map
        mp[ai]++;
        // find the maximum value in the array
        mx = max(mx, (long long)ai);
    }
    // iterate through each integer i from 0 to mx
    for (int i = 0; i <= mx; ++i)
    {
      
        // if i is not present in the hash map, skip to
        // the next integer
        if (mp.find(i) == mp.end())
            continue;
      
        // iterate through each integer j from i to mx

        {
