Once's in Binary Representation of a Number
Let’s explore how to count the number of 1 s (also known as ones) in the binary representation of a number. We'll take the number n = 7 as an example. Initialization : Start with a count of 0 . Binary Representation : The binary representation of 7 is 111 , which contains 3 ones. Thus, we increment our count to 1 . Bit Manipulation : Now, we perform a bitwise operation to remove the rightmost 1 : n = 7 (binary 111 ) When we apply the operation n & (n - 1) , we get: 7 - 1 = 6 (binary 110 ) 7 & 6 = 6 (binary 110 ) After this operation, the count of 1 s is now 2 (for the binary 110 ). Repeat : We continue this process: Now n = 6 (binary 110 ) 6 - 1 = 5 (binary 101 ) 6 & 5 = 4 (binary 100 ) The count increases to 3 . Final Steps : We continue until n becomes 0 : n = 5 (binary 101 ) 5 - 1 = 4 (binary 100 ) 5 & 4 = 0 (binary 000 ) At this point, n is 0 , and the final count of ones is 3 . Code Implementation Here is the code that implements this process: py...
