Kth smallest positive integer Y such that its sum with X is same as its bitwise OR with X

Given two positive integers X and K, the task is to find the K^th smallest positive integer (Y) such that the sum of X and Y is equal to Bitwise OR of X and Y, i.e. (X + Y = X | Y)

Examples:

Input: X = 5, K = 1
Output: 2
Explanation:
Consider the smallest number as 2. The sum of 2 and 5 is 2 + 5 = 7 and the Bitwise OR of 2 and 5 is 7.

Input: X = 5, K = 5
Output: 18

Approach: The given problem can be solved by below observation:
 

• Using the properties of bitwise operator on two numbers X and Y:
   

(X + Y) = (X & Y) + (X | Y) 
 

• Therefore, for the value of X + Y to be same as X | Y, the value of X & Y must be 0. 
   
• Also, we know that for X & Y to be 0, the position of set bits in X must be unset in Y, and the positions of unset bits of X can be either 0 or 1 in Y.
   
• Hence, to find Kth smallest positive number meeting above conditions, we can use combinations for the bit positions of Y that are unset in X.

To implement the above, iterate the binary representation of X from right to left, and at every iteration, consider the following cases:

• If the current bit of X is 1, the corresponding bit in Y will be 0, to get (X & Y) as 0.
• If the current bit of X is 0 and rightmost bit of K is 1, the corresponding bit of Y will be 1. This means that two combinations at current bit in Y has been used - first 0 and then 1. Then divide K by 2
• If the current bit of X is 0 and rightmost bit of K is 0, the corresponding bit of Y will be 0. This means that only one combination at current bit in Y has been used - 0. Then divide K by 2
• If K becomes 0, break the loop, stating that the Kth number has been found.

Finally, print the decimal conversion of Y as the required answer.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

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

// Function to calculate K-th smallest 
// solution(Y) of equation X+Y = X|Y
long long KthSolution(long long X,
                      long long K)
{
    // Initialize the variable
      // to store the answer
    long long ans = 0;

    for (int i = 0; i < 64; i++) {
      
        // The i-th bit of X is off
        if (!(X & (1LL << i))) {
          
            // The i-bit of K is on
            if (K & 1) {
                ans |= (1LL << i);
            }
          
            // Divide K by 2
            K >>= 1;

            // If K becomes 0 then break
            if (!K) {
                break;
            }
        }
    }
    return ans;
}
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    long long X = 10, K = 5;
    cout << KthSolution(X, K);
    return 0;
