HackerRank AND Product problem solution

In this HackerRank AND Product problem solution, we have given N pairs of long integers A[i] and B[i] and we need to computer and print the bitwise AND of all-natural numbers in the inclusive range between A[i] and B[i].

    i = 0               
    while (start >> i) > 0:
        # If the number of steps causes the ith bit to flip, then
        # the result of that bit should be 0.
        if lmask(start, i + 1) + steps > lmask(-1, i + 1):
            result = bitmask(result, i)
