Check whether kth bit is set or not

Input: n = 5, k = 1

Output: SET


Input: n = 6, k = 2

Ouput: NOT SET


Explanation:

To get kth bit left shift 1 by k-1, do AND operation with n to get the kth bit.

We have k-1 because, the bit positions are like, 1,2,3,4.... To get the first bit we have to shift by zero, to get second bet we have to shift 1 by one....Hence k-1.

If k has values starting from 0 then we can shift by k instead of k-1.


Code:

import java.util.*;

public class Solution {

    public static void main(String[] args){
     
        int n = 5, k=3;
     
        if( ( n & ( 1 << ( k-1) ) ) != 0)
            System.out.print("SET");
        else
            System.out.print("NOT SET");
     
        }
}


Output:
SET


Examples:
5 -> 101

k=1:
    left shift 1 by k-1 -> left shift by 0 -> 001
    101 & 001 not zero
k=2:
   left shift 1 by k-1 -> left shift by 1 -> 010
   101 & 010 is zero, Hence not set

Rearrange Array in Maximum-Minimum form

Given a sorted array of positive integers, rearrange the array alternately i.e first element should be the maximum value, second minimum value, third-second max, fourth-second min and so on. Naive Solution: Here we will use an auxiliary array to store the elements in correct order. For even indices of the array  Large numbers from the given array are added. For odd indices small numbers are added. Code: import java.util.*; public class Test{        public static void main(String[] args) {          Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);     int[] a = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9};     int n = a.length;     int[] temp = new int[n];     int small = 0;     int large = n-1;     for(int i=0; i<n; i++){         if(i%2 == 0){             temp[i] = a[large--];         }         else{             temp[i] = a[small++];         }              }     for(int i=0; i<n; i++){         System.out.print(temp[i]+" ");     }

Second Largest Element

Given an array of integers, our task is to write a program that efficiently finds the second largest element present in the array. Example: Input : arr[] = {12, 35, 1, 10, 34, 1} Output : The second largest element is 34. Code: package sap; public class SecondLargest {         public static void main(String[] args){                 int[] a = {89, 24, 75, 11, 23};         int max = Integer.MIN_VALUE, secondMax = Integer.MIN_VALUE;                 for(int i=0; i<a.length; i++){                         if(a[i] > max){                                 secondMax = max;                 max = a[i];                             }             else if(a[i] > secondMax){                 secondMax = a[i];             }                     }                 System.out.println("The second maximum element is "+secondMax);             } } Output: The second maximum element is 75

Check if a number is a power of another number

Check if a number is a power of another number Input: x = 10, y = 1 Output: True x^0 = 1 Input: x = 10, y = 1000 Output: True x^3 = 1 Input: x = 10, y = 1001 Output: False Code: package sap; public class Power {         public static void main(String[] args){                int x = 27, y = 729;                 int val = (int)Math.log(y)/ (int)Math.log(x);                 double res = Math.log(y)/Math.log(x);                 if(val == res){             System.out.println(x+" can be expressed as a power of "+y);         }                 else{             System.out.println(x +" cannot be expressed as a power of "+y);         }             } } Output: 27 can be expressed as a power of 729
