bit-manipulationProblem URL: Number of 1 bits
We can logical and any number with 1 to check whether the last bit of that number is 1 or 0. We can also check this by checking the number is odd or even. Odd numbers always has last bit as 1. We count that bit and then write shift the number 1 bit to get the next bit. Finally after going through every bit, we return the result.
class Solution:
def hammingWeight(self, n: int) -> int:
count = 0
while n:
count += n & 1
n >>= 1
return count
