Given 32-bit unsigned integers, duplicate each bit in-place in the integer.

For example:

  • 10001_2 becomes 1100000011_2
  • 11110_2 becomes 1111111100_2

Implementation

One function:

unsigned long long duplicatebits(unsigned long long);

Note: The function parameter is an unsigned long long instead of an unsigned int to remove the step of upcasting.

Your function may be called up to 10^8 times.
