Problem

There exists an infinitely large grid. You are currently at point (1, 1), and you need to reach the point (targetX, targetY) using a finite number of steps.

In one step, you can move from point (x, y) to any one of the following points:

Given two integers targetX and targetY representing the X-coordinate and Y-coordinate of your final position, return true if you can reach the point from (1, 1) **using some number of steps, and *false* otherwise**.

  Example 1:

Input: targetX = 6, targetY = 9
Output: false
Explanation: It is impossible to reach (6,9) from (1,1) using any sequence of moves, so false is returned.

Example 2:

Input: targetX = 4, targetY = 7
Output: true
Explanation: You can follow the path (1,1) -> (1,2) -> (1,4) -> (1,8) -> (1,7) -> (2,7) -> (4,7).

  Constraints:

Solution (Java)

class Solution {
    public boolean isReachable(int targetX, int targetY) {
        int g = gcd(targetX, targetY);
        return (g & (g - 1)) == 0; // check g is power of 2
    }
    private int gcd(int a, int b) {
        if (a == 0) return b;
        return gcd(b % a, a);
    }
}

Explain:

nope.
