/**
 * @file
 * @brief Implementation to [From the right, set the Kth bit in the binary
 * representation of N]
 * (https://practice.geeksforgeeks.org/problems/set-kth-bit3724/1/) in an
 * integer.
 *
 * @details
 * Given a number N and a value K. From the right, set the Kth bit in the binary
 * representation of N. The position of Least Significant Bit(or last bit) is 0,
 * the second last bit is 1 and so on. in it.
 *
 * A binary number consists of two digits. They are 0 & 1. Digit 1 is known as
 * set bit in computer terms.
 * Worst Case Time Complexity: O(1)
 * Space complexity: O(1)
