Number of 1 Bits - InterviewBit Solution

Problem: Number of 1 Bits

Problem Description:

Given a number, count the number of set bits.

Example:

The 32-bit integer 11 has binary representation

00000000000000000000000000001011 

so the function should return 3

Solution Approach:

To solve this problem we can keep dividing it by 2, whenever the remainder is 1, that means there is a set bit, so increment the count.

Space & Time Complexity:

Time Complexity: O(logN)

- Since each time we are diving the number by 2.

Space Complexity: O(1)

Solution:

Code in C++
