Problem
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.
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:
- The input must be a binary string of length
32.
Follow up: If this function is called many times, how would you optimize it?
Solution
/**
* @param {number} n - a positive integer
* @return {number}
*/
var hammingWeight = function(n) {
let count = 0;
let i = 32;
while(i--) {
count += n & 1;
n = n >> 1;
}
return count;
};
