Maximum value of Bitwise AND from root to leaf in a Binary tree

Last Updated : 03 Nov, 2021

Given a Binary Tree, the task is to find the maximum value of Bitwise AND from any path from the root node to the leaf node.

Examples:

Input: Below is the given graph:

Output: 7
Explanation:
path 1: 15->3->5 = (15 & 3 & 5) = 1
path 2: 15->3->1 =(15 & 3 & 1) = 1
path 3: 15->7->31=(15 & 7 & 31)= 7 (maximum)
path 4: 15->7->9 = (15 & 7 & 9) =1, out of these 7 is the maximum.

Input: Below is the given graph:

Output: 6
Explanation:
Path 1: 31->3->7 = (31 & 3 & 7) = 3
Path 2: 31->3->1 = (31 & 3 & 1) = 1
Path 3: 31->15->5 = (31 & 15 & 5) 5
Path 4: 31->15->22 = (31 & 15 & 22) = 6, out of these 6 is the maximum.

Approach: The idea is to traverse all the path from the root node to the leaf node and calculate the Bitwise AND of all the nodes that occurred in that path. Keep a global variable to update the maximum Bitwise AND value from all the paths.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ program for the above approach
 
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Initialise to update the maximum
// AND value from all the path
int maxm = 0;
 
// Node structure
struct Node {
    int val;
 
    // Left & right child of the node
    Node *left, *right;
 
    // Initialize constructor
    Node(int x)
    {
        val = x;
        left = NULL;
        right = NULL;
    }
};
 
// Function to find the maximum value
// of Bitwise AND from root to leaf
// in a Binary tree
void maxm_Anding(Node* root, int ans)
{
    // Check if root is not null
    if (!root)
        return;
 
    if (root->left == NULL
        and root->right == NULL) {
        ans &= root->val;
 
        // Find the maximum AND value and
        // store in global maxm variable
        maxm = max(ans, maxm);
 
        return;
    }
 
    // Traverse left of binary tree
    maxm_Anding(root->left,
                ans & root->val);
 
    // Traverse right of the binary tree
    maxm_Anding(root->right,
                ans & root->val);
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    // Given Tree
    Node* root = new Node(15);
    root->left = new Node(3);
    root->right = new Node(7);
    root->left->left = new Node(5);
    root->left->right = new Node(1);
    root->right->left = new Node(31);
    root->right->right = new Node(9);
 
    // Function Call
    maxm_Anding(root, root->val);
 
    // Print the maximum AND value
    cout << maxm << endl;
 
    return 0;
}

Java

// Java program for the above approach
class GFG{
 
// Initialise to update the maximum
// AND value from all the path
static int maxm = 0;
 
// Node structure
static class Node 
{
    int val;
 
    // Left & right child of the node
    Node left, right;
 
    // Initialize constructor
    Node(int x)
    {
        val = x;
        left = null;
        right = null;
    }
};
 
// Function to find the maximum value
// of Bitwise AND from root to leaf
// in a Binary tree
static void maxm_Anding(Node root, int ans)
{
    // Check if root is not null
    if (root == null)
        return;
 
    if (root.left == null && root.right == null) 
    {
        ans &= root.val;
 
        // Find the maximum AND value and
        // store in global maxm variable
        maxm = Math.max(ans, maxm);
 
        return;
    }
 
    // Traverse left of binary tree
    maxm_Anding(root.left,
                ans & root.val);
 
    // Traverse right of the binary tree
    maxm_Anding(root.right,
                ans & root.val);
}
 
// Driver Code
public static void main(String[] args)
{
    // Given Tree
    Node root = new Node(15);
    root.left = new Node(3);
    root.right = new Node(7);

    root.left.right = new Node(1);
    root.right.left = new Node(31);
    root.right.right = new Node(9);
 
    // Function Call
    maxm_Anding(root, root.val);
 
    // Print the maximum AND value
    System.out.print(maxm + "\n");
}
}
