The increment ripples a possible carry through all unused bits - and finally we clear all unused bits again by intersection with the set d:

We add the [[General Setwise Operations#TheLeastSignificantOneBitLS1B|LS1B]] (smallest) to the set, to get a greater number. The former LS1B becomes zero with overflow. If the next higher bit was zero, it takes the carry and the number of set bits didn't change - two flipped bits. Otherwise, if the carry ripples through, leaving further zero(s), we need to set least significant bits accordingly, to keep the cardinality equal. Thus, we xor ripple to get the flipped bits as ones. We shift this sequence right, until it becomes the least significant bits (divide by smallest). To take the two compensating bits off, we need to further divide by 4 (leading or trailing shift right 2). Get the next higher number with the same number of one bits (Snoob) was devised by [[Bill Gosper]] as [[Bill Gosper#HAKMEM175|HAKMEM 175]] in [[PDP-6]] [[Assembly]] <ref>Michael Beeler, [[Bill Gosper]], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Schroeppel Rich Schroeppel] ('''1972''').
