The easiest way I know is:
If you want 0 as a submask:
You have to know if we want to do something with the submasks of every mask till 2^N the time complexity will be O(3^N) not O(4^N).
Thanks man! It was really helpful.
Can somebody explain please, why is it 3^n ?
$$$3^n=\sum_{k=0}^{n} \binom{n}{k}2^k$$$ by binomial expansion. $$$2^k$$$ is number of submasks if we have $$$k$$$ ones. $$$\binom{n}{k}$$$ is number of masks with $$$k$$$ ones.
Oh, thanks. Ive just read it here https://cp-algorithms.com/algebra/all-submasks.html :)
Better way to think about it is, if you have N items, then each item being considered is either 1. not in the mask, 2. in the mask but not in the submask, 3. in the submask. So 3^N.
Time complexity = O(3^n) if we are generating all submasks for all 2^n numbers for the n bit number else for a particular number having k out of n bits set complexity is O(2^k)
