setbits in c++ for optimization code example
Example 1: bit counting
countBits = (n) => n.toString(2).split("0").join("").length;
Example 2: bitwise count total set bits
//WAP to find setbits (total 1's in binary ex. n= 5 => 101 => 2 setbits
int count{}, num{};
cin >> num;
while (num > 0) {
count = count + (num & 1); // num&1 => it gives either 0 or 1
num = num >> 1; // bitwise rightshift
}
cout << count; //count is our total setbits
