    int highBit = -1;

    System.out.printf("Enter Number: ");
    num = SC.nextInt();

    while (num != 0) {
      if ((num & 1) == 1)
        highBit = count;
      num = num >> 1;
      count++;
    }

    if (highBit == -1) {
      System.out.printf("No bit is set\n");
    } else {
      System.out.printf("Highest bit set : %d \n", highBit);
    }
