Set Kth Bit
You are given an integer `num` and another integer `k`. Set the `k`-th bit of `num` to `1` (0-indexed). Print the modified number.
Input:
Two space-separated integers `num` (0 ≤ num ≤ 10^9) and `k` (0 ≤ k ≤ 30).
Output:
A single integer, which is the modified number after setting the k-th bit.
Example:
Input:
3 1
Output:
3
Explanation: The number 3 in binary is 011. Setting the 1st bit to 1 (it is already set) gives 011, which is still 3.
