/**
* @file count_distinct_primes_from_binary_string.cpp
* @brief Count distinct primes formed from binary strings using allowed operations.
*
* @author Rudraksh Tank
* @date July 2025
*
* @details
* Given a binary string, the task is to count how many distinct prime decimal numbers
* can be formed by:
* - Swapping any two characters (makes position irrelevant)
* - Changing any '1' to '0' (not the reverse)
*
* Efficient solution using bit manipulation and Sieve of Eratosthenes.

please add documentation for all the above headers as shown in the example


const int MAX = 1e6;

max cannot be a negative number, hence replace int with uint32_t

you still havent done this

Suggested change
const int MAX = 1e6;
const uint32_t MAX = 1e6;

Again would recommend using constexpr to do the computation at compile time

is_prime.assign(MAX + 1, true);
is_prime[0] = is_prime[1] = false;
for (int i = 2; i * i <= MAX; i++) {
if (is_prime[i]) {
for (int j = i * i; j <= MAX; j += i) {
is_prime[j] = false;
}
}
}
}

tests should be outside the namespace and static, A test should be comparing a computed value to a known value using an assert statement
