Higher Lower Power Of Two

d
package com.thealgorithms.bitmanipulation;

/**
 * HigherLowerPowerOfTwo class has two methods to find the next higher and lower power of two.
 * <p>
 *     nextHigherPowerOfTwo method finds the next higher power of two.
 *     nextLowerPowerOfTwo method finds the next lower power of two.
 *     Both methods take an integer as input and return the next higher or lower power of two.
 *     If the input is less than 1, the next higher power of two is 1.
 *     If the input is less than or equal to 1, the next lower power of two is 0.
 *     nextHigherPowerOfTwo method uses bitwise operations to find the next higher power of two.
 *     nextLowerPowerOfTwo method uses Integer.highestOneBit method to find the next lower power of two.
 *     The time complexity of both methods is O(1).
 *     The space complexity of both methods is O(1).
