Flip a specific bit in an integer
Problem Description
Given a non-negative integer num and a zero-based bit position p, return the integer resulting from flipping only the bit at position p (i.e., 0 becomes 1, and 1 becomes 0).
Explain your approach and its time/space complexity.
Constraints
numis a non-negative integer.pis a zero-based bit position.
