+/**
+ * @file
+ * @brief [Next higher number with same number of set bits]
+ * (https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/next-higher-number-with-same-number-of-set-bits/)
+ * implementation
+ *
+ * @details
+ * Given a number x, find next number with same number of 1 bits in it’s binary representation.
+ * For example, consider x = 12, whose binary representation is 1100 (excluding leading zeros on 32 bit machine).
+ * It contains two logic 1 bits. The next higher number with two logic 1 bits is 17 (100012).
+ *
+ * A binary number consists of two digits. They are 0 & 1. Digit 1 is known as
+ * set bit in computer terms.
