LeetCode-in-Go

191. Number of 1 Bits

Easy

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

Note:

Example 1:

Input: n = 00000000000000000000000000001011

Output: 3

Explanation: The input binary string 00000000000000000000000000001011 has a total of three ‘1’ bits.

Example 2:

Input: n = 00000000000000000000000010000000

Output: 1

Explanation: The input binary string 00000000000000000000000010000000 has a total of one ‘1’ bit.

Example 3:

Input: n = 11111111111111111111111111111101

Output: 31

Explanation: The input binary string 11111111111111111111111111111101 has a total of thirty one ‘1’ bits.

Constraints:

Follow up: If this function is called many times, how would you optimize it?

Solution

func hammingWeight(num int) int {
	sum := 0
	for num > 0 {
		sum += int(num & 1)
		num >>= 1
	}
	return sum
}
