Ans. 
Find an integer Y such that XOR operation with X yields maximum value within given constraints.
• Iterate from the most significant bit to find the highest bit that can be toggled to maximize XOR value.

• To maximize XOR value, toggle the highest bit of X to 0 and all lower bits to 1.

• Ensure the final Y does not exceed (2^61) - 1.

• Example: For X = 3, the highest bit to toggle is at position 61, so Y = 2305843009213693950.
