text: Find a pair of numbers with set bit count as at most that of N and whose Bitwise XOR is N | python 3 program for the above approach ; Function to find the pair ( X , Y ) such that X xor Y = N and the count of set bits in X and Y is less than count of set bit in N ; Stores MSB ( Most Significant Bit ) ; Stores the value of X ; / Stores the value of Y ; Traversing over all bits of N ; If ith bit of N is 0 ; / Set ith bit of X to 1 ; Set ith bit of Y to 1 ; Print Answer ; Driver Code
