0191 - Number of 1 Bits

0191 - Number of 1 Bits

Write a function that takes an unsigned integer and returns the number of '1' bits it has (also known as the Hamming weight).

Note:

  • Note that in some languages, such as Java, there is no unsigned integer type. In this case, the input will be given as a signed integer type. It should not affect your implementation, as the integer's internal binary representation is the same, whether it is signed or unsigned.

  • In Java, the compiler represents the signed integers using 2's complement notation. Therefore, in Example 3, the input represents the signed integer. -3

Examples

Input: n = 00000000000000000000000000001011 Output: 3 Explanation: The input binary string 00000000000000000000000000001011 has a total of three '1' bits.

Input: n = 00000000000000000000000010000000 Output: 1 Explanation: The input binary string 00000000000000000000000010000000 has a total of one '1' bit.

Input: n = 11111111111111111111111111111101 Output: 31 Explanation: The input binary string 11111111111111111111111111111101 has a total of thirty one '1' bits.

Constraints

The input must be a binary string of length 32.

Java Solution

public class Solution {
    // you need to treat n as an unsigned value
    public int hammingWeight(int n) {
        int count = 0;
        while(n != 0) {
            n = n & (n - 1);
            count++;
        }
        return count;
    }
}
