Solution: Counting Bits
Explore how to solve the Counting Bits problem using dynamic programming in C++. Understand how to leverage previous computations for even and odd numbers to count set bits efficiently. This lesson helps you implement an optimized approach with O(n) time and constant space complexity, enhancing your problem-solving skills for coding interviews.
Statement
For a given positive integer, n, your task is to return an array of length such that for each where , result[x] is the count of s in the binary representation of .

Solution
So far, you have probably brainstormed some approaches and have an idea of how to solve this problem. Let’s explore some of these approaches and figure out which one to follow based on considerations such as time complexity and any implementation constraints.
Naive approach
The naive approach for this solution would be to iterate through the string character by character. During the traversal, we convert each number to its binary representation, count the number of
This approach would have a time complexity of
