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.

int hammingWeight(uint32_t n) {
int num_bits = 0;
while(n != 0) {
if (n & 1) {
++num_bits;
}
n = n >> 1;
}
return num_bits;
}
