So in the python scriptA below according to geeksforgeeks.org this script is to tell me the amount of bits to be flipped to convert a to b so after i copied the count result i tried to create my own python script to test this. so the summary about my own python script was given a count and an integer variable A, flip the bits in accordance with the count to get the same bits as b without using b in equation just the count number and a ,so when i got the result integer it was not the same as integer b so i modified the script and tried again and it still didn't work any helpThe scriptA
if __name__ == '__main__': a = 10 b = 20 # Function call # Converting int to binary and counting number of bits result = bin(a ^ b).count("1") print(result)And the result count is 4
So i made my script and it didn't work so can anyone create a python script that could help me thanks alotSo this is my script
def flip_bits_to_match_count(a, count, b): flipped_a = a flips = 0 while bin(flipped_a).count("1") != count: flipped_a ^= 1 << flips flips += 1 return flipped_a == ba = 10count = 4b = 20matched = flip_bits_to_match_count(a, count, b)print("Does the flipped 'a' match 'b'?", matched)The result A is 53 not 20 that's my problem sorry i didn't post it earlier
