问题:
Write a function that takes an unsigned integer and returns the number of ’1’ bits it has (also known as the Hamming weight).
For example, the 32-bit integer ’11’ has binary representation 00000000000000000000000000001011, so the function should return 3.
我的解答:
class Solution {
public:
int hammingWeight(uint32_t n) {
int count = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < 32; i++)
{
count += n&0x01;
n=n >> 1;
}
return count;
}
};
解释:拿到这道题很自然就想到通过移位来计算这里面有多少个1。通过32次与0x01提取最右边的数,看是不是1.
看别人的想法是通过与减一位的数来来计算的。如下
int hammingWeight(uint32_t n) {
int count = 0;
while (n) {
n &= (n - 1);
count++;
}
return count;
}
解释:
每次n减1,那么原来的n的最右边一个1就变为0,该1右边的所有0变为1.原n与该n-1与了之后,那么最右1及右边的所有位都为0.如
If n = 00101100, then n - 1 = 00101011, so n & (n - 1) = 00101100 & 00101011 = 00101000. Count = 1.
If n = 00101000, then n - 1 = 00100111, so n & (n - 1) = 00101000 & 00100111 = 00100000. Count = 2.
If n = 00100000, then n - 1 = 00011111, so n & (n - 1) = 00100000 & 00011111 = 00000000. Count = 3.
然后循环的次数不用32次,只要循环“1”的个数就够了,因为是判断n是否为0的。n为0即结束
