Find the nearest power of 2 for every array element

Given an array arr[] of size N, the task is to print the nearest power of 2 for each array element. 
Note: If there happens to be two nearest powers of 2, consider the larger one.

Examples:

Input: arr[] = {5, 2, 7, 12} 
Output: 4 2 8 16 
Explanation:
The nearest power of arr[0] ( = 5) is 4. 
The nearest power of arr[1] ( = 2) is 2. 
The nearest power of arr[2] ( = 7) is 8. 
The nearest power of arr[3] ( = 12) are 8 and 16. Print 16, as it is the largest.

Input: arr[] = {31, 13, 64} 
Output: 32 16 64

Approach: Follow the steps below to solve the problem:

• Traverse the array from left to right.
• For every array element, find the nearest powers of 2 greater and smaller than it, i.e. calculate pow(2, log₂(arr[i])) and pow(2, log₂(arr[i]) + 1).
• Calculate difference of these two values from the current array element and print the nearest as specified in the problem statement.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ program to implement
// the above approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

// Function to find nearest power of two
// for every element in the given array
void nearestPowerOfTwo(int arr[], int N)
{

    // Traverse the array
    for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) {

        // Calculate log of the
        // current array element
        int lg = log2(arr[i]);
        int a = pow(2, lg);
        int b = pow(2, lg + 1);

        // Find the nearest
        if ((arr[i] - a) < (b - arr[i]))
            cout << a << " ";
        else
            cout << b << " ";
    }
}

// Driver Code
int main()
{
    int arr[] = { 5, 2, 7, 12 };
    int N = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]);
    nearestPowerOfTwo(arr, N);
    return 0;
}

Java

// Java program to implement the above approach
import java.io.*;

class GFG {

    // Function to find the nearest power of two
    // for every element of the given array
    static void nearestPowerOfTwo(int[] arr, int N)
    {

        // Traverse the array
        for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) {

            // Calculate log of the
            // current array element
            int lg = (int)(Math.log(arr[i])
                           / Math.log(2));

            int a = (int)(Math.pow(2, lg));
            int b = (int)(Math.pow(2, lg + 1));

            // Find the nearest
            if ((arr[i] - a) < (b - arr[i]))
                System.out.print(a + " ");
            else
                System.out.print(b + " ");
        }
    }

    // Driver Code
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        int[] arr = { 5, 2, 7, 12 };
        int N = arr.length;
        nearestPowerOfTwo(arr, N);
    }
}
