1318. Minimum Flips to Make a OR b Equal to c

Medium

Given 3 positives numbers a, b and c. Return the minimum flips required in some bits of a and b to make ( a OR b == c ). (bitwise OR operation).
Flip operation consists of change any single bit 1 to 0 or change the bit 0 to 1 in their binary representation.

Example 1:

Input: a = 2, b = 6, c = 5

Output: 3

Explanation: After flips a = 1 , b = 4 , c = 5 such that (a OR b == c)

Example 2:

Input: a = 4, b = 2, c = 7

Output: 1

Example 3:

Input: a = 1, b = 2, c = 3

Output: 0

class Solution {
    fun minFlips(a: Int, b: Int, c: Int): Int {
        var ans = 0
        val or = a or b
        ans += csb(or xor c)
        val and = a and b
        ans += csb(and and c.inv())
        return ans
    }

    private fun csb(n: Int): Int {
        var n = n
        var cnt = 0
        while (n > 0) {
            val rsb = n and -n
            n -= rsb
            cnt++
        }
        return cnt
    }
