Hello there, today we are going to solve Day 6: Bitwise Operators Hacker Rank Solution in JavaScript which is a Part of 10 Days Of JavaScript Series.
Table Of Contents 👊Objective
Today, we're practicing bitwise operations.
Task
We define S to be a sequence of distinct sequential integers from 1 to n; in other words, S = {1, 2, 3, . . ., n}. We want to know the maximum bitwise AND value of any two integers, a and b (where a < b), in sequence S that is also less than a given integer, k.
Complete the function in the editor so that given n and k, it returns the maximum a & b < k .
Note: The & symbol represents the bitwise AND operator.
Input Format
The first line contains an integer, q, denoting the number of function calls.
Each of the q subsequent lines defines a dataset for a function call in the form of two space-separated integers describing the respective values of n and k.
Constraints
- 1 <= q <= 10^3
- 2 <= n <= 10^3
- 2 <= k <= n
Output Format
Return the maximum possible value of a & b < k for any a < b in sequence S.

Explanation 0
We perform the following q = 3 function calls:
- When n = 5 and k = 2, we have the following possible a and b values in set S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}:The maximum of any a & b that is also < k is 1, so we return 1.
- When n = 8 and k = 5, the maximum of any a & b < k in set S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8} is 4, so we return 4.
- When n = 2 and k = 2, the maximum of any a & b < k in set S = {1, 2} is 0, so we return 0.
Sample Input 1
2
9 2
8 3
Sample Output 1
1
2
Explanation 1
We perform the following q = 2 function calls:
- When n = 9 and k = 2, the maximum of any a & b < k in set S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9} is 1, so we return 1.
- When n = 8 and k = 3, the maximum of any a & b < k in set S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8} is 2, so we return 2.

for (let i = 0; i < q; i++) {
const [n, k] = readLine().split(' ').map(Number);
console.log(getMaxLessThanK(n, k));
}
