Hi Prakash, I'll paste the exact description of the problem:
A non-empty array A of N elements contains octal representation of a non-negative integer K, i.e. each element of A belongs to the interval [0; 7] (both ends included). Write a function that returns the number of bits set to 1 in the binary representation of K. thanks, Sarvesh i.e take any decimal number, convert to base 8 and then store each digit of base 8 representation in an array. So the question is, given such an array get back the original number. thanks, Sarvesh On Sun, Aug 21, 2011 at 4:13 PM, Prakash D <cegprak...@gmail.com> wrote: > A[i]<<3*i > > why is it needed to convert from base 8 to base 10?? > > On Sun, Aug 21, 2011 at 4:07 PM, Sanjay Rajpal <srn...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> Hi your intention was logical OR or BITWISE OR ? >> >> u did Logical. >> Sanju >> :) >> >> >> >> On Sun, Aug 21, 2011 at 3:30 AM, sarvesh saran < >> aquarian.thun...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >>> Hi Nitin, >>> >>> thanks that makes sense.
