Problem: Minimum One Bit Operations to Make Integers Zero

Statement

You are given an integer n. Your goal is to reduce it to 00 by repeatedly performing either of the following bit operations:

  • Flip the rightmost bit (bit at position 00) of n.

  • Flip the bit at position ii (for i>0i > 0) only if the bit at position i−1i - 1 is 11 and all bits from position i−2i - 2 down to 00 are set to 00.

Determine and return the minimum number of these operations required to reduce n to 00.

Constraints:

  • 0≤0 \leq n ≤109\leq 10^9
