How do you randomly zero a bit in an integer?

Updated with newer answer and better test

Let's say I have the number 382 which is 101111110.

How could I randomly turn a bit which is not 0 to 0?

The why;

Since people ask me why, I simply need to do this, removing a bit from an integer.

based on the answer here is the result(working one)

I ran this

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Collections;
using System.Linq;
using System.Diagnostics;

            random = new Random(42);
            for (int j = 0; j < 10; j++)
            {
                sw = Stopwatch.StartNew();
                for (int i = 0; i < 1000000; i++)

Update: added code above which can be used for more-bounded performance guarantees (or less unbounded if you want to think of it that way). Interestingly enough this performs better than the original uncommented version.

Below is an alternate approach that is fast but without bounded performance guarantees:

public static int FastPerturb(int data)
{
    if (data == 0) return 0;

    int bit = 0;
    while (0 == (data & (bit = 1 << random.Next(32))));

    return data & ~bit;
}


Here's a slightly more efficient version using bit twiddling.

    public static int getBitCount(int bits)
    {
        bits = bits - ((bits >> 1) & 0x55555555);
        bits = (bits & 0x33333333) + ((bits >> 2) & 0x33333333);
        return ((bits + (bits >> 4) & 0xF0F0F0F) * 0x1010101) >> 24;
    }

    public static int flipRandomBit(int data)
    {
        int index = random.Next(getBitCount(data));
        int mask = data;

        for (int i = 0; i < index; i++)
            mask &= mask - 1;
        mask ^= mask & (mask - 1);

        return data ^ mask;
    }


EDIT : fixed to take into account the constraint "a bit which is not 0"

Pick a random number N between 0 and 31 (for a 32 bit integer), and use it to generate a bitmask by shifting 1 N times to the left. Repeat until bit N is not 0 in the original number. Negate the bitmask to have only 1 bit set to 0 and combine it with your original number with the & operator :

private int ClearOneBit(int originalValue)
{
    if (originalValue == 0)
        return 0; // All bits are already set to 0, nothing to do

    Random rnd = new Random();
    int mask = 0;
    do
    {
        int n = rnd.Next(32);
        mask = 1 << n;
    } while ((mask & originalValue) == 0); // check that this bit is not 0

    int newValue = originalValue & ~mask; // clear this bit
    return newValue;
}


OK:

    private static Random rnd = new Random((int)DateTime.Now.Ticks);

    private static Int32 SetRandomTrueBitToFalse(Int32 p)
    {
        List<int> trueBits = new List<int>();
        for (int i = 0; i < 31; i++)
        {
            if ((p>>i&1) == 1){
                trueBits.Add(i);
            }
        }
        if (trueBits.Count>0){
            int index = rnd.Next(0, trueBits.Count);
            return p & ~(1 << trueBits[index]);
        }
        return p;
    }

But I would love to know: Why do you need/want this?


You can turn on any bit by OR'ing it with 1 and turn it off by AND'ing with the bitwise complement.

Here's an example that selects a random 1-bit and turns it off.

var rand = new Random();
int myValue = 0x017E; // 101111110b
// identify which indexes are one-bits (if any, thanks Doc)
if( myValue > 0 )
{
    var oneBitsIndexes = Enumerable.Range( 0, 31 )
                                   .Where(i => ((myValue >> i) & 0x1) !=0).ToList();
    // pick a random index and update the source value bit there from 1 to 0
    myValue &= ~(1 << oneBitsIndexes[rand.Next(oneBitsIndexes.Count)]);
}
// otherwise, there are no bits to turn off...


You can generalize this by using BitArray.

public static BitArray FlipRandomTrueBit(BitArray bits)
{
    List<int> trueBits = new List<int>();

    for (int i = 0; i < bits.Count; i++)
        if (bits[i])
            trueBits.Add(i);

    if (trueBits.Count > 0)
    {
        int index = rnd.Next(0, trueBits.Count);
        bits[trueBits[index]] = false;
    }

    return bits;
}

However then you will have to write helper functions for simple data types.

public static int FlipRandomTrueBit(int input)
{
    BitArray bits = new BitArray(new int[] { input });
    BitArray flipedBits = FlipRandomTrueBit(bits);

    byte[] bytes = new byte[4];
    flipedBits.CopyTo(bytes, 0);

    int result = BitConverter.ToInt32(bytes, 0);
    return result;
}

If your using a large bit array you could save memory by iterating twice.

public static void FlipRandomTrueBitLowMem(ref BitArray bits)
{
    int trueBits = 0;

    for (int i = 0; i < bits.Count; i++)
        if (bits[i])
            trueBits++;

    if (trueBits > 0)
    {
        int flip = rnd.Next(0, trueBits);

        for (int i = 0; i < bits.Count; i++)
        {
            if (bits[i])
            {
                if (flip == 0)
                {
                    bits[i] = false;
                    break;
                }

                flip--;
            }
        }
    }
}

Test Program.

using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;

namespace bitarray
{
    class Program
    {
        private static Random rnd = new Random((int)DateTime.Now.Ticks);

        public static BitArray FlipRandomTrueBit(BitArray bits)
        {
            List<int> trueBits = new List<int>();

            for (int i = 0; i < bits.Count; i++)
                if (bits[i])
                    trueBits.Add(i);

            if (trueBits.Count > 0)
            {
                int index = rnd.Next(0, trueBits.Count);
                bits[trueBits[index]] = false;
            }

            return bits;
        }

        public static int FlipRandomTrueBit(int input)
        {
            BitArray bits = new BitArray(new int[] { input });
            BitArray flipedBits = FlipRandomTrueBit(bits);

            byte[] bytes = new byte[4];
            flipedBits.CopyTo(bytes, 0);

            int result = BitConverter.ToInt32(bytes, 0);
            return result;
        }

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            int test = 382;
            for (int n = 0; n < 200; n++)
            {
                int result = FlipRandomTrueBit(test);
                Console.WriteLine(result);
            }

            Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }
}


Count all the 1's in your integer. Choose a random number using your favorite random number generator between 1 and the first count. Create a mask for Random-th 1 in your integer. OR your integer with the mask.


EDIT: Fixed some logic.

BitArray bits = new BitArray(new int[] { number } );

randomIndex = new Random().Next(32);

// check if bit is true, if not, goes to next bit and wraps around as well.
for(int i = 0; i < 32; i++)
{
    if(bits[randomIndex] == false)
    {
    randomIndex = (randomIndex + 1) % 32;
    }
    else
    {
        break;
    }
}

bits[randomIndex] = false;


Try the following code

public static int ChangeOneBit(int data)
{
    if (data == 0)
    {
        return data;
    }

    var random = new Random();
    int bit = 0;
    do
    {
        var shift = random.Next(31);
        bit = data >> shift;
        bit = bit & 0x00000001;
    } while (bit == 0);
    var ret = data & (~(1 << bit));
    return ret;
}


int changeBit(int a)
{
    a = ~a;
    int temp = a;
    while(temp == a)
    {
        r = Math.pow(2,(int)(32*random.next()));
        a = a || r;    
    }

    return ~a;
}


Ok, a lot of wrong answers. Here's one that works:

  1. determine which bit to flip. Do this randomly. I won't supply the code, it's pretty straightforward.
  2. setup a bitmask with all zeros, with a 1 for the bit in question. So for example, if it's the 3rd bit, your bitmask might be 00000100. Again, this doesn't require code.
  3. bitwise XOR your number with the bit mask. If you're unfamiliar with the operator it's the hat operator: ^

Here's some sample code:

int myInt; // set this up with your original value
int myBitmask; // set this up with the bit mask via steps 1 and 2.
int randomlyZeroedBitInt = myInt ^ myBitmask;

Edit: On a fifth read of the question, I have a question in return: you are wanting to do which of the following:

  1. Randomly zero a bit, but only if that bit is already 1. In other words, if the bit in question isn't already 1, the operation is a no-op.
  2. Randomly choose a bit that is 1 and zero it. This operation always chooses a bit that is already 1 and always zeros it. The operation is only a no-op if the original value is 0.

Edit 2:

2 is correct,(15chars) – Fredou

In that case, my general algorithm stands; merely choose the bit in step 1 with internal logic. Alternatively, choose a fully random bit in step 1 and repeat until the value of myInt and randomlyZeroedBitInt are not equal.

Unfortunately either case means a more complex algorithm, as you'll either need to iterate over every bit in your value to determine which to flip, or you'll need to loop the algorithm until a bit is flipped.


Here is a version based on an algorithm from Bit Twiddling Hacks to select the nth set bit of an integer. For this case, we simply select n at random.

The code has been ported to C#, made to work directly on 32-bit signed integers, and count from the right instead of the left. Furthermore, the optimization to remove all branches has not been preserved here as it yielded slower code on my machine (Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450).

The description on the Bit Twiddling Hacks page does not give much insight into how the algorithm works. I have taken the time to step through and reverse engineer it and what I found is described in detail in the comments below.

In my tests, this algorithm performs very similarly to Kyteland's excellent flipRandomBit over input that is distributed randomly across the full range of 32-bit integers. However, flipRandomBit is slightly faster for numbers with significantly fewer set bits than cleared bits. Conversely, this algorithm is slightly faster for numbers with significantly more set bits than cleared bits.

The OP's benchmark consists entirely of small positive integers, which do not stress flipRandomBit's worst case. If this is an indication of the expected input, then all the more reason to prefer flipRandomBit.

static int ClearRandomSetBit(int input) {
    ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
    // ** Step 1 **

    const int m8 = 0x0f0f0f0f; // 4 zeros, 4 ones, ...

    // sequence of 2-bit values representing the counts of each 2 bits.
    int c2 = input - ((input >> 1) & m2);

    // sequence of 4-bit values representing the counts of each 4 bits.
    int c4 = (c2 & m4) + ((c2 >> 2) & m4);

    // sequence of 8-bit values representing the counts of each 8 bits.
    int c8 = (c4 + (c4 >> 4)) & m8;

    // count set bits in input.
    int bitCount = (c8 * 0x1010101) >> 24;

    // position of target bit among the set bits
    int target = random.Next(bitCount);

    // distance in set bits from the current position to the target
    int distance = target + 1;

    // current bit position 
    int pos = 0;

    // if the target is not in the right-most 16 bits, move past them
    if (distance > count) { pos += 16; distance -= count; }

    // if the target is not in the next 8 bits, move past them
    count = (c8 >> pos) & 0xff;
    if (distance > count) { pos += 8; distance -= count; }

    // if the target is not in the next 4 bits, move past them
    count = (c4 >> pos) & 0xf;
    if (distance > count) { pos += 4; distance -= count; }

    // if the target is not in the next 2 bits, move past them
    count = (c2 >> pos) & 0x3;
    if (distance > count) { pos += 2; distance -= count; }

    // if the bit is not the next bit, move past it.
    //
    // Note that distance and count must be single bits by now.
    // As such, distance is greater than count if and only if 
    // distance equals 1 and count equals 0. This obversation
    // allows us to optimize away the final branch.
    Debug.Assert((distance & 0x1) == distance);
    Debug.Assert((count & 0x1) == count);
    count = (input >> pos) & 0x1;
    pos += (distance & (count ^ 1));

    Debug.Assert((input & (1 << pos)) != 0);
    return input ^ (1 << pos);
