#1009 - Complement of Base 10 Integer

Problem Description

Every non-negative integer N has a binary representation.

For example, 5 can be represented as "101" in binary, 11 as "1011" in binary, and so on. Note that except for N = 0, there are no leading zeroes in any binary representation.

The complement of a binary representation is the number in binary you get when changing every 1 to a 0 and 0 to a 1. For example, the complement of "101" in binary is "010" in binary.

For a given number N in base-10, return the complement of it's binary representation as a base-10 integer.

Solution

/**
 * @param {number} N
 * @return {number}
 */
var bitwiseComplement = function(N) {
  return parseInt(N.toString(2).split('').map(n => n ^ 1).join(''), 2);
};
