Given two 32-bit numbers, N and M, and two bit positions, i and j. Write a method to set all bits between i and j in N equal to M (e g , M becomes a substring of N located at i and starting at j)
Notice
In the function, the numbers N and M will given in decimal, you should also return a decimal number.
Clarification
You can assume that the bits j through i have enough space to fit all of M. That is, if M=10011, you can assume that there are at least 5 bits between jand i. You would not, for example, have j=3 and i=2, because M could not fully fit between bit 3 and bit 2.
Example
Given N=(10000000000)2
, M=(10101)2
, i=2
, j=6
return N=(10001010100)2

大致步骤如下:
- 得到第
i
位到第j
位的比特位为0,而其他位均为1的掩码mask
。 - 使用
mask
与 N 进行按位与,清零 N 的第i
位到第j
位。 - 对 M 右移
i
位,将 M 放到 N 中指定的位置。 - 返回 N | M 按位或的结果。
获得掩码mask
的过程可参考 CTCI 书中的方法,先获得掩码(1111...000...111)的左边部分,然后获得掩码的右半部分,最后左右按位或即为最终结果。
