Given a number n, our task is to find all 1 to n bit numbers with no consecutive 1s in their binary representation. 
Examples: 
 

Input : n = 4
Output : 1 2 4 5 8 9 10
These are numbers with 1 to 4
bits and no consecutive ones in
binary representation.

Input : n = 3
Output : 1 2 4 5

 

We add bits one by one and recursively print numbers. For every last bit, we have two choices. 
 

   if last digit in sol is 0 then
      we can insert 0 or 1 and recur. 
   else if last digit is 1 then
      we can insert 0 only and recur.

We will use recursion- 
 

  1. We make a solution vector sol and insert first bit 1 in it which will be the first number.
  2. Now we check whether length of solution vector is less than or equal to n or not.
  3. If it is so then we calculate the decimal number and store it into a map as it store numbers in sorted order.
  4. Now we will have two conditions- 
    • if last digit in sol is 0 the we can insert 0 or 1 and recur.
    • else if last digit is 1 then we can insert 0 only and recur.

 

numberWithNoConsecutiveOnes(n, sol)
{
if sol.size() <= n
 
  //  calculate decimal and store it
  if last element of sol is 1
     insert 0 in sol 
     numberWithNoConsecutiveOnes(n, sol)
 else
     insert 1 in sol
     numberWithNoConsecutiveOnes(n, sol)

     // because we have to insert zero 
     // also in place of 1
     sol.pop_back();
     insert 0 in sol
     numberWithNoConsecutiveOnes(n, sol)
 }
