Minimum Number of Operations to Reduce n to 0

Question

8th Dec

Salesforce is designing an energy-efficient data processing system for its servers. Given a positive integer n, which represents the initial energy level of a server, the system can adjust the energy level in a single operation using one of the following actions:
1. Increase the energy level by 2^i for any i >= 0
2. Decrease the energy level by 2^i for any i >= 0
The goal is to determine the minimum number of operations required to reduce the energy level n to 0, ensuring the system is efficiently shut down.
