Given two positive integers num1 and num2, find the positive integer x such that:

\n\n\n\n

Note that XOR is the bitwise XOR operation.

\n\n

Return the integer x. The test cases are generated such that x is uniquely determined.

\n\n

The number of set bits of an integer is the number of 1's in its binary representation.

Example 1:

\n\n
\nInput: num1 = 3, num2 = 5\nOutput: 3\nExplanation:\nThe binary representations of num1 and num2 are 0011 and 0101, respectively.\nThe integer 3 has the same number of set bits as num2, and the value 3 XOR 3 = 0 is minimal.\n
\n\n

Example 2:

\n\n
\nInput: num1 = 1, num2 = 12\nOutput: 3\nExplanation:\nThe binary representations of num1 and num2 are 0001 and 1100, respectively.\nThe integer 3 has the same number of set bits as num2, and the value 3 XOR 1 = 2 is minimal.\n
