Discussion of Problem 1209. 1, 10, 100, 1000...

Can't figure out the WA on test #3. Please, help

I checked the output of my code for all K ( 1 <= k <= 65535), I think it gives the correct output.

long long type is used.

Code explanation:
I use a(k) = 1, 2, 2, 4, 4, 4, 8, 8, 8, 8, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 64, 64, 64, 64, 64, 64, 64,... to compute a(k)

the pos(k) in a(k) from 0, 1, 0, 2, 1, 0, 3, 2, 1, 0, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1,..
https://oeis.org/search?q=1+0+2+1+0+3+2+1+0+4+3+2+1+0&sort=&language=english&go=Search

sequences are 0-base indexing.

example:
k = 16 --> a(15) = 32 = (100000)2

pos(15) in 0, 1, 0, 2, 1, 0, 3, 2, 1, 0, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, 5, 4,... is 5, which means we gonna pick the bit at the 5th position from the left in 100000

100000
543210

so, for k = 16, the answer is 1

Thanks.
