Problem: Number of 1 Bits

Medium
30 min
Understand how to create a function that calculates the number of set bits (1s) in the binary representation of a 32-bit unsigned integer. Learn to analyze and implement an optimal solution with constant time and space complexity for efficient coding interviews.

Statement

Write a function that takes a 32-bit binary representation of an unsigned integer nn and returns the count of its 11 bits.

The binary representation of an unsigned integer is a sequence of 00s and 11s that represents the integer's value using base-2 notation. An example of the 32-bit binary representation of an unsigned integer 1313 is 0000000000000000000000000000110100000000000000000000000000001101.

Constraint:

  • The input must be a 32-bit binary representation of an unsigned integer.

Note: The input is passed to the function as an unsigned integer variable. In this lesson, we have displayed it as a string of binary numbers solely for visualization purposes.
