Day 02: LeetCode 231 [Power of Two]

Problem Description: Given an integer n, return true if it is a power of two. Otherwise, return false.

An integer n is a power of two, if there exists an integer x such that n == 2x.

Example 1:

Input: n = 1 Output: true Explanation: 20 = 1 Example 2:

Input: n = 16 Output: true Explanation: 24 = 16 Example 3:

Input: n = 3 Output: false

Constraints: -2^31 <= n <= 2^31 - 1

My Thought Process:

  • negative number in power of 2 will make it img number so for (n<0) returning false
  • also there is no power of two for which ans will be 0 so for (n=0) returning false
  • all power of two are divisible by two to dividing n until it we get 1 or odd number e.g. 2^3 is 8 -> 8/2 = 4 -> 4/2 = 2 -> 2/2 = 1
  • expecption to this is 1 which is 2^0
