        long long mod=1e9+7;
        
        long long ans=n;
        ans=(ans+pow(2, s.size()-1)) % mod;     //s is set

The above code is giving the error

prog.cpp:22:38: error: invalid operands of types ‘__gnu_cxx::__promote_2<int, long unsigned int, double, double>::__type’ {aka ‘double’} and ‘long long int’ to binary ‘operator%’

The % operator is not defined for doubles, which is the type of the expression (ans+pow(2, s.size()-1)).

Shortened repro:

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    double a = 5.2;
    std::cout << (a % 10) << std::endl;
}
