Solution: Number of Steps to Reduce a Binary Number to One
Understand how to apply greedy techniques to reduce a binary number to one by iterating from the least significant digit, deciding step counts based on even or odd values, and managing carry-over. This lesson teaches an O(n) time and O(1) space solution to optimize step calculation.
