1 to n bit numbers with no consecutive 1s in binary representation.

Print N-bit binary numbers having more 1’s than 0’s in all prefixes

Last Updated : 19 Jul, 2022

Try it on GfG Practice

Given a positive integer n, print all n-bit binary numbers having more 1’s than 0’s for any prefix of the number.

Examples:

Input : n = 2
Output : 11 10

Input : n = 4
Output : 1111 1110 1101 1100 1011 1010

A simple but not efficient solution will be to generate all N-bit binary numbers and print those numbers that satisfy the conditions. The time complexity of this solution is exponential.

An efficient solution is to generate only those N-bit numbers that satisfy the given conditions. We use recursion, At each point in the recursion, we append 0 and 1 to the partially formed number and recur with one less digit.

Implementation:

C++

// C++ program to print all N-bit binary
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
/* function to generate n  digit numbers*/
void printRec(string number, int extraOnes,
              int remainingPlaces)
{
    /* if number generated */
    if (0 == remainingPlaces) {
        cout << number << " ";
        return;
    }
 
    /* Append 1 at the current number and reduce
       the remaining places by one */
    printRec(number + "1", extraOnes + 1,
             remainingPlaces - 1);
 
    /* If more ones than zeros, append 0 to the
       current number and reduce the remaining
       places by one*/
    if (0 < extraOnes)
        printRec(number + "0", extraOnes - 1,
                 remainingPlaces - 1);
}
 
void printNums(int n)
{
    string str = "";
    printRec(str, 0, n);

Print numbers in the range 1 to n having bits in alternate pattern

Given a positive integer n. The problem is to print the numbers in the range 1 to n having bits in alternate pattern. Here alternate pattern means that the set and unset bits in the number occur in alternate order. For example- 5 has an alternate pattern i.e. 101.Examples: Input : n = 10 Output : 1

Given n, find the greatest number which is strictly not more than n and whose binary representation consists of m consecutive ones, then m-1 consecutive zeros and nothing else Examples: Input : n = 7 Output : 6 Explanation: 6's binary representation is 110,and 7's is 111, so 6 consists of 2 consecut

All possible binary numbers of length n with equal sum in both halves

Given a number n, we need to print all n-digit binary numbers with equal sum in left and right halves. If n is odd, then mid element can be either 0 or 1. Examples: Input : n = 4 Output : 0000 0101 0110 1001 1010 1111 Input : n = 5 Output : 00000 00100 01001 01101 01010 01110 10001 10101 10010 10110

1 to n bit numbers with no consecutive 1s in binary representation.

Given a number n, our task is to find all 1 to n bit numbers with no consecutive 1s in their binary representation. Examples: Input : n = 4 Output : 1 2 4 5 8 9 10 These are numbers with 1 to 4 bits and no consecutive ones in binary representation. Input : n = 3 Output : 1 2 4 5 Recommended: Please

Maximize partitions in given Binary String having same ratio of 0s and 1s

Given a binary string S of size N, the task is to find the maximum number of partitions of string S such that the ratio of the number of 0 and 1 in all the partitions are the same. Examples: Input: S = "010100001"Output: 3Explanation: The substring [0, 2], [3, 5] and [6, 8] have the same ratio of '0

1 to n bit numbers with no consecutive 1s in binary representation

Given a number n, our task is to find all 1 to n bit numbers with no consecutive 1s in their binary representation.Examples: Input: N = 4 Output: 1 2 4 5 8 9 10 These are numbers with 1 to 4 bits and no consecutive ones in binary representation. Input: n = 3 Output: 1 2 4 5 Approach: There will be 2

Generate all binary numbers in range [L, R] with same length

Given two positive integer numbers L and R. The task is to convert all the numbers from L to R to binary number. The length of all binary numbers should be same. Examples: Input: L = 2, R = 4Output:010011100Explanation: The binary representation of the numbers: 2 = 10, 3 = 11 and 4 = 100.For the num

Find a number containing N - 1 set bits at even positions from the right

Given a positive integer N, the task is to find a number which contains (N - 1) set bits in its binary form at every even index (1-based) from the right.Examples: Input: N = 2 Output: 2 Binary representation of 2 is 10 which has 1 set bit at even position from the right.Input: N = 4 Output: 42 Binar

Count of substrings in a Binary String that contains more 1s than 0s

Given a binary string s, the task is to calculate the number of such substrings where the count of 1's is strictly greater than the count of 0's. Examples Input: S = "110011"Output: 11Explanation: Substrings in which the count of 1's is strictly greater than the count of 0's are { S[0]}, {S[0], S[1]
