762. Prime Number of Set Bits in Binary Representation
MediumView on LeetCode
Problem Overview
Prime Number of Set Bits in Binary Representation (Medium) asks you to solve a structured algorithmic task. This is a common Math / Bit Manipulation pattern in coding interviews. Bit manipulation with prime bitmask. Precompute a magic integer with
A full step-by-step explanation is being added. See the study guide for pattern-based practice.
Approach
Bit manipulation with prime bitmask. Precompute a magic integer with
bits set at prime positions (2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19). For each number in [left,right],
count set bits and check if that count's bit is set in the magic mask.
