Problem Statement: Maximum Hugeness
You are given an integer N. You have the starting
N natural numbers arranged in ascending order.
It was found that the hugeness of the i-th number is the bitwise OR
of the i-th number and all numbers before it (including itself).
All numbers whose hugeness is a prime number are considered
Huge Numbers.
Your task is to find and print the maximum hugeness among the
Huge Numbers in the array. If there is no Huge Number,
then print -1.
Input Format:
The input consists of a single line:
The first and only line contains an integer N.
The input will be read from the STDIN by the candidate.
Output Format:
Print the maximum hugeness among the Huge Numbers in the array.
If there is no Huge Number, print -1.
The output will be matched to the candidate's output printed on the
STDOUT.
Constraints:
1≤N≤1000
Example:
Input:
8
Output:
7
Explanation:
The hugeness values of the numbers are as follows:
Hugeness of 1 = 1
Hugeness of 2 = 1∣2=3
Hugeness of 3 = 1∣2∣3=3
Hugeness of 4 = 1∣2∣3∣4=7
Hugeness of 5 = 1∣2∣3∣4∣5=7
Hugeness of 6 = 1∣2∣3∣4∣5∣6=7
Hugeness of 7 = 1∣2∣3∣4∣5∣6∣7=7
Hugeness of 8 = 1∣2∣3∣4∣5∣6∣7∣8=15
Among these, the prime hugeness values are 3,7.
The maximum among them is 7.
Constraints Recap:
You need to check up to 1000 numbers.
Use bitwise OR to compute hugeness.
Determine primality for each hugeness.
Let me break the problem down step by step for better understanding.
What is the problem about?
You are given an integer N, which means you have the first
N natural numbers (1, 2, 3, ...,N).
For each of these numbers, a special value called hugeness is
calculated. Hugeness is determined using the bitwise OR operation
applied to the current number and all numbers before it
(including itself).
After calculating the hugeness for all numbers:
Identify which of the hugeness values are prime numbers.
From these prime hugeness values, find the largest one.
If no hugeness value is prime, return -1.
What is "hugeness"?
The hugeness of the i-th number is calculated using the bitwise OR
of all the numbers from 1 to i.
Bitwise OR operation:
Bitwise OR compares two numbers bit by bit.
If at least one of the bits is 1, the result is 1.
Otherwise, the result is 0.
For example:
1∣2 → Binary of 1=01, Binary of 2=10: 01∣10=11 → Decimal 3
1∣2∣3 → 01∣10∣11=11 → Decimal 3
How is hugeness calculated?
Let’s calculate the hugeness for the first few numbers as an example:
Hugeness of 1:
Only one number (1).
Hugeness = 1.
Hugeness of 2:
Numbers are 1,2.
Hugeness = 1∣2=3.
Hugeness of 3:
Numbers are 1,2,3.
Hugeness = 1∣2∣3=3.
Hugeness of 4:
Numbers are 1,2,3,4.
Hugeness = 1∣2∣3∣4=7.
Hugeness of 5:
Numbers are 1,2,3,4,5.
Hugeness = 1∣2∣3∣4∣5=7.
What are "Huge Numbers"?
A number is a Huge Number if its hugeness is a prime number.
What is a prime number?
A prime number is a number greater than 1 that has no divisors other
than 1 and itself. Examples: 2,3,5,7,11, etc.
Let’s check the hugeness values from above:
Hugeness of 1 = 1 → Not prime.
Hugeness of 2 = 3 → Prime.
Hugeness of 3 = 3 → Prime.
Hugeness of 4 = 7 → Prime.
Hugeness of 5 = 7 → Prime.
So, the Huge Numbers are 3,7.
What is the task?
Find all hugeness values for the numbers from 1 to N.
Check which of these hugeness values are prime numbers.
From the prime numbers, find the largest hugeness value.
If there are no prime hugeness values, print -1.
Example :
Input:
8
Step 1: Calculate hugeness for numbers 1 to 8.
Hugeness of 1 = 1
Hugeness of 2 = 1∣2=3
Hugeness of 3 = 1∣2∣3=3
Hugeness of 4 = 1∣2∣3∣4=7
Hugeness of 5 = 1∣2∣3∣4∣5=7
Hugeness of 6 = 1∣2∣3∣4∣5∣6=7
Hugeness of 7 = 1∣2∣3∣4∣5∣6∣7=7
Hugeness of 8 = 1∣2∣3∣4∣5∣6∣7∣8=15
Step 2: Identify prime hugeness values.
1: Not prime.
3: Prime.
7: Prime.
15: Not prime.
Step 3: Find the largest prime hugeness value.
Prime hugeness values = 3,7.
Largest = 7.

Let’s dive deeper into how bitwise OR works in this example, step by step.
What is Bitwise OR?
Bitwise OR operates on the binary representation of numbers.
It compares each bit of two numbers.
If either bit is 1, the result is 1.
If both bits are 0, the result is 0.
Example:
𝐴

5
𝐵
A=5,
=
3
B=3

Let’s carefully examine how the prime hugeness values are
determined in this problem.
Step-by-Step Explanation
Hugeness Values
The hugeness values for N=8 were calculated as:
Hugeness of 1 = 1
Hugeness of 2 = 3
Hugeness of 3 = 3
Hugeness of 4 = 7
Hugeness of 5 = 7
Hugeness of 6 = 7
Hugeness of 7 = 7
Hugeness of 8 = 15
What Are Prime Numbers?
A prime number is a number greater than 1 that has only two factors:
1 and itself.
Examples of prime numbers:
2,3,5,7,11,13, etc.
Non-prime (composite) numbers have more than two factors, e.g.,
4,6,8,9, etc.
Check Hugeness Values for Primality
Hugeness = 1
Not a prime number (prime numbers are greater than 1).
Hugeness = 3
Factors of 3 are 1 and 3 (only two factors).
3 is a prime number.
Hugeness = 7
Factors of 7 are 1 and 7 (only two factors).
7 is a prime number.
Hugeness = 15
Factors of 15 are 1,3,5, and 15
15 (more than two factors).
15
15 is not a prime number.
Prime Hugeness Values
From the above, the hugeness values that are prime numbers are:
3
7
Finding the Maximum Prime Hugeness
Out of the prime hugeness values
3 and 7, the largest is 7.
Final Answer
The maximum prime hugeness value is:7
Step 1: Understand the Problem
Input: An integer N (1 ≤ N ≤ 1000), representing the first N natural numbers (1, 2,
..., N).
Hugeness Calculation: The hugeness of the i-th number is the
bitwise OR of the i-th number and all previous numbers in the array.
Huge Numbers: Numbers whose hugeness is a prime number.
Task: Find the maximum hugeness among Huge Numbers. If no Huge Numbers exist,
output -1.
Step 2: Plan the Solution
Generate the first
N natural numbers.
For each number i (from 1 to N):Calculate its hugeness using bitwise OR.
Check if the hugeness is a prime number.
Track the maximum hugeness among Huge Numbers.
Print the result.
Step 3: Write the Code
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdbool.h>
// Function to check if a number is prime
bool isPrime(int num) {
if (num < 2) return false;
for (int i = 2; i * i <= num; i++) {
if (num % i == 0) return false;
}
return true;
}
int main() {
int N;
scanf("%d", &N); // Input the value of N
int maxHugeness = -1; // Initialize max hugeness to -1
int currentOR = 0; // Variable to store the cumulative bitwise OR
// Iterate through the first N natural numbers
for (int i = 1; i <= N; i++) {
currentOR |= i; // Calculate cumulative bitwise OR
// Check if the current hugeness is a prime number
if (isPrime(currentOR)) {
if (currentOR > maxHugeness) {
maxHugeness = currentOR; // Update max hugeness
}
}
}
// Output the result
printf("%d\n", maxHugeness);
return 0;
}
Step 4: Explanation of the Code
1. Prime Check Function
The isPrime function checks if a number is a prime:
bool isPrime(int num)
{
if (num < 2) return false; // Numbers less than 2 are not prime
for (int i = 2; i * i <= num; i++) {
if (num % i == 0) return false; // Divisible by i
}
return true; // Prime number
}
2. Main Logic
Input the value of N:
int N;
scanf("%d", &N);
Calculate the cumulative bitwise OR:
currentOR |= i;
For each
i (1 to N), calculate the hugeness as the cumulative OR of all
numbers up to i.
Check if the hugeness is prime:
if (isPrime(currentOR))
{
if (currentOR > maxHugeness)
{
maxHugeness = currentOR;
}
}
Print the result: If no huge numbers exist, maxHugeness remains -1.
Step 5: Test the Program

8
Output:
7
Explanation:
The hugeness values are: 1, 3, 3, 7, 7, 7, 7, 15.
The prime hugeness values are: 3, 7.
Maximum prime hugeness is 7.
Input:
5
Output:
Copy code
3
Explanation:
The hugeness values are: 1, 3, 3, 7, 7.
The prime hugeness values are: 3, 7.
Maximum prime hugeness is 3.
Complexity
Time Complexity:
O(NK), where K is the value of the largest hugeness.
Calculating bitwise OR for N numbers takes O(N).
Checking if a number is prime takes O(K).
Space Complexity:
O(1).
