Prime Number of Set Bits in Binary Representation

Given two integers left and right, return the count of numbers in the inclusive range [left, right] having a prime number of set bits in their binary representation.

Given two integers left and right, return the count of numbers in the inclusive range [left, right] having a prime number of set bits in their binary representation.

Recall that the number of set bits an integer has is the number of 1's present when written in binary.

Example 1

Input: left = 6, right = 10

Output: 4

Explanation: 6 -> 110 (2 set bits, 2 is prime) 7 -> 111 (3 set bits, 3 is prime) 8 -> 1000 (1 set bit, 1 is not prime) 9 -> 1001 (2 set bits, 2 is prime) 10 -> 1010 (2 set bits, 2 is prime) 4 numbers have a prime number of set bits.

Example 2

Input: left = 10, right = 15

Output: 5

Explanation: 10 -> 1010 (2 set bits, 2 is prime) 11 -> 1011 (3 set bits, 3 is prime) 12 -> 1100 (2 set bits, 2 is prime) 13 -> 1101 (3 set bits, 3 is prime) 14 -> 1110 (3 set bits, 3 is prime) 15 -> 1111 (4 set bits, 4 is not prime) 5 numbers have a prime number of set bits.

Constraints

  • 1 <= left <= right <= 10^6
  • 0 <= right - left <= 10^4
