【位操作笔记】位计数算法 查表法 8位数

位计数

位计数(Counting bits set)，指的是计算一个数里bit位置1的个数，例如一个8位数0xea = 0b1110 1010，位置1的个数为5。

算法说明

该算法通过查表的方式来计算一个数里bit位置1的个数。由于8bit数最多只有256个，也就是最多只有256种情况，所以直接通过建表的方式，将这256种情况全部列出来。使用查表法进行位计数的速度最快。

};

unsigned char count(unsigned char v)
{
    return BitsSetTable256[v];
}

算法计算过程

直接查表得到结果。

拓展

可以使用该位计数算法实现32位数的位计数算法。
代码如下：

32位数的位计数代码

static const unsigned char BitsSetTable256[] = 
{
    0, 1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 2, 3, 1, 2, 2, 3, 2, 3, 3, 4,
    1, 2, 2, 3, 2, 3, 3, 4, 2, 3, 3, 4, 3, 4, 4, 5,
    1, 2, 2, 3, 2, 3, 3, 4, 2, 3, 3, 4, 3, 4, 4, 5,
    2, 3, 3, 4, 3, 4, 4, 5, 3, 4, 4, 5, 4, 5, 5, 6,
    1, 2, 2, 3, 2, 3, 3, 4, 2, 3, 3, 4, 3, 4, 4, 5,
    2, 3, 3, 4, 3, 4, 4, 5, 3, 4, 4, 5, 4, 5, 5, 6,
    2, 3, 3, 4, 3, 4, 4, 5, 3, 4, 4, 5, 4, 5, 5, 6,
    3, 4, 4, 5, 4, 5, 5, 6, 4, 5, 5, 6, 5, 6, 6, 7,
    1, 2, 2, 3, 2, 3, 3, 4, 2, 3, 3, 4, 3, 4, 4, 5,
    2, 3, 3, 4, 3, 4, 4, 5, 3, 4, 4, 5, 4, 5, 5, 6,
    2, 3, 3, 4, 3, 4, 4, 5, 3, 4, 4, 5, 4, 5, 5, 6,
    3, 4, 4, 5, 4, 5, 5, 6, 4, 5, 5, 6, 5, 6, 6, 7,
    2, 3, 3, 4, 3, 4, 4, 5, 3, 4, 4, 5, 4, 5, 5, 6,
    3, 4, 4, 5, 4, 5, 5, 6, 4, 5, 5, 6, 5, 6, 6, 7,
    3, 4, 4, 5, 4, 5, 5, 6, 4, 5, 5, 6, 5, 6, 6, 7,
    4, 5, 5, 6, 5, 6, 6, 7, 5, 6, 6, 7, 6, 7, 7, 8
};

unsigned int count(unsigned int v)
{
    unsigned int c; // c is the total bits set in v

    c = BitsSetTable256[ v        & 0xff] +
        BitsSetTable256[(v >>  8) & 0xff] +
        BitsSetTable256[(v >> 16) & 0xff] +
        BitsSetTable256[ v >> 24        ];
    
    return c;
}

算法计算过程

将一个32位数分成4个8位数，进行4次查表，然后相加，得到32位数里的bit位置1的个数。

表的生成

使用查表法就需要生成表，可以使用如下方法生成表：

static unsigned char BitsSetTable256[256];

void table(void)
{
    int i;
    // To initially generate the table algorithmically:
    BitsSetTable256[0] = 0;

    for (i = 0; i < 256; i++)
    {
        BitsSetTable256[i] = (i & 1) + BitsSetTable256[i / 2];
    }
}
