Check if Number is a Sum of Powers of Three

Given an integer n, return true if it is possible to represent n as the sum of distinct powers of three. Otherwise, return false.

An integer y is a power of three if there exists an integer x such that y == 3x.

Example :

Input: n = 12
Output: true
Explanation: 12 = 31 + 32

Approach:

C++

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

bool checkPowersOfThree(int n)
{

    while (n > 0)
    {
        if (n % 3 == 2)
            return false;
        n = n / 3;
    }
    return true;
}

int main()
{
    int n = 12;

    if (checkPowersOfThree(n))
        cout << "true";
    else
        cout << "false";

    return 0;
}
