693. Binary Number with Alternating Bits

Easy

Given a positive integer, check whether it has alternating bits: namely, if two adjacent bits will always have different values.

Example 1:

Input: n = 5

Output: true

Explanation: The binary representation of 5 is: 101

Example 2:

Input: n = 7

Output: false

Explanation: The binary representation of 7 is: 111.

Example 3:

Input: n = 11

Output: false

Explanation: The binary representation of 11 is: 1011.

Solution

public class Solution {
    public boolean hasAlternatingBits(int n) {
        int prev = -1;
        while (n != 0) {
            int v = n & 1;
            n = n >> 1;
            if (prev == v) {
                return false;
            }
            prev = v;
        }
        return true;
    }
}
