Count set bits in an integer
Write an efficient program to count the number of 1s in the binary representation of an integer.
Examples :
Input : n = 6
Output : 2
Binary representation of 6 is 110 and has 2 set bitsInput : n = 13
Output : 3
Binary representation of 13 is 1101 and has 3 set bits
1. Simple Method Loop through all bits in an integer, check if a bit is set and if it is, then increment the set bit count. See the program below.

2. Brian Kernighan’s Algorithm:
Subtracting 1 from a decimal number flips all the bits after the rightmost set bit(which is 1) including the rightmost set bit.
for example :
10 in binary is 00001010
9 in binary is 00001001
8 in binary is 00001000
7 in binary is 00000111
So if we subtract a number by 1 and do it bitwise & with itself (n & (n-1)), we unset the rightmost set bit. If we do n & (n-1) in a loop and count the number of times the loop executes, we get the set bit count.
The beauty of this solution is the number of times it loops is equal to the number of set bits in a given integer.
1 Initialize count: = 0 2 If integer n is not zero (a) Do bitwise & with (n-1) and assign the value back to n n: = n&(n-1) (b) Increment count by 1 (c) go to step 2 3 Else return count
Example for Brian Kernighan’s Algorithm:
n = 9 (1001) count = 0 Since 9 > 0, subtract by 1 and do bitwise & with (9-1) n = 9&8 (1001 & 1000) n = 8 count = 1 Since 8 > 0, subtract by 1 and do bitwise & with (8-1) n = 8&7 (1000 & 0111) n = 0 count = 2 Since n = 0, return count which is 2 now.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

We can find one use of counting set bits at Count number of bits to be flipped to convert A to B
Note: In GCC, we can directly count set bits using __builtin_popcount(). So we can avoid a separate function for counting set bits.
C++
// C++ program to demonstrate __builtin_popcount() #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { cout << __builtin_popcount(4) << endl; cout << __builtin_popcount(15); return 0; } |
Java
// java program to demonstrate // __builtin_popcount() import java.io.*; class GFG { // Driver code public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println(Integer.bitCount( 4 )); System.out.println(Integer.bitCount( 15 )); } } // This code is contributed by Raj |

4. Mapping numbers with the bit. It simply maintains a map(or array) of numbers to bits for a nibble. A Nibble contains 4 bits. So we need an array of up to 15.
int num_to_bits[16] = {0, 1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 2, 3, 1, 2, 2, 3, 2, 3, 3, 4};
Now we just need to get nibbles of a given long/int/word etc recursively.
C++
// C++ program to count set bits by pre-storing // count set bits in nibbles. #include <bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std; int num_to_bits[16] = { 0, 1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 2, 3, 1, 2, 2, 3, 2, 3, 3, 4 }; /* Recursively get nibble of a given number and map them in the array */ unsigned int countSetBitsRec(unsigned int num) { int nibble = 0; if (0 == num) return num_to_bits[0]; // Find last nibble nibble = num & 0xf; // Use pre-stored values to find count // in last nibble plus recursively add // remaining nibbles. return num_to_bits[nibble] + countSetBitsRec(num >> 4); } // Driver code int main() { int num = 31; cout << countSetBitsRec(num); return 0; } // This code is contributed by rathbhupendra |

Time Complexity: O(log n), because we have log(16, n) levels of recursion.
Storage Complexity: O(1) Whether the given number is short, int, long, or long long we require an array of 16 sizes only, which is constant.
5. Checking each bit in a number:
Each bit in the number is checked for whether it is set or not. The number is bitwise AND with powers of 2, so if the result is not equal to zero, we come to know that the particular bit in the position is set.
C
#include <stdio.h> // Check each bit in a number is set or not // and return the total count of the set bits. int countSetBits( int N) { int count = 0; // (1 << i) = pow(2, i) for ( int i = 0; i < sizeof ( int ) * 8; i++) { if (N & (1 << i)) count++; } return count; } // Driver Code int main() { int N = 15; printf ( "%d" , countSetBits(N)); return 0; } |

6. Using power of 2:(efficient method to find for large value also)
Iterate from k to 0 , where k is the largest power of 2 such that pow(2, k) <= num . And check if the Bitwise AND of num and pow(2, i) is greater than zero or not. If it is greater than zero , Then i-th bit is set ,then increase the count by 1.
