Flip Bit to Win Problem Statement

You are given a task to help ninjas maximize their practice area in a dense forest represented by a sequence of trees (1s) and empty places (0s) in the binary representation of a given integer. You also have one additional tree which can be planted in any empty spot (i.e., you can flip one of the zeroes to a one) to maximize the number of consecutive trees.

Your objective is to determine the maximum number of consecutive trees after using this additional tree.

Example:

Input:
54
Output:
5
Explanation:

The binary representation of 54 is 110110. By flipping the third zero from the left, you achieve 5 consecutive ones: 111110.

Input:

The first line contains an integer 'T', the number of test cases.
Each test case consists of a single line containing the integer 'N'.

Output:

For each test case, output the length of the longest sequence of 1s you can obtain by flipping one bit.

Constraints:

  • 1 <= T <= 1000
  • 2 <= N <= 10^9

Note:

You are not required to print anything, as the output is handled by the provided function. Just focus on implementing the function correctly.
