BigInteger setBit() Method in Java

The java.math.BigInteger.setbit(index) method returns a Big-integer whose value is equivalent to this Big-integer with the designated bit set. The method computes (this | (1<<n)). The bit at index n of binary representation of Big-integer will be set means converted to 1.

Syntax:

public BigInteger setbit(int n)

Parameters: The method takes one parameter n which refers to the index of the bit that is needed to be set.



Return Value: The method returns the BigInteger value after setting the bit position n.

Exceptions: The method might throw an ArithmeticException when n is negative.

Examples:

Input: value = 2300 index = 1
Output: 2302
Explanation:
Binary Representation of 2300 = 100011111100
bit at index 3 is 1 so set the bit at index 1 
Now Binary Representation becomes 100011111110
and Decimal equivalent of 100011111110 is 2302

Input: value = 5482549 index = 1
Output: 5482551

        // Calling setBit() method on bigInteger at index i

        String result = "After applying setBit at index " +

        // Displaying the result
        System.out.println(result);
    }

Output:


After applying setBit at index 1 of 2300 New Value is 2302
