Number Complement

The complement of an integer is the integer you get when you flip all the 0's to 1's and all the 1's to 0's in its binary representation.

  • For example, The integer 5 is "101" in binary and its complement is "010" which is the integer 2.

Given an integer num, return its complement.

Example 1:

Input: num = 5
Output: 2
Explanation: The binary representation of 5 is 101 (no leading zero bits), and its complement is 010. So you need to output 2.

Example 2:

Input: num = 1
Output: 0
Explanation: The binary representation of 1 is 1 (no leading zero bits), and its complement is 0. So you need to output 0.

Constraints:

  • 1 <= num < 231

Note: This question is the same as 1009: https://leetcode.com/problems/complement-of-base-10-integer/

SOLUTION:

class Solution:
    def findComplement(self, num: int) -> int:
        return int("".join([str(1 - int(c)) for c in "{:b}".format(num)]), 2)
