Problem

Write a function that takes an unsigned integer and return the number of '1' bits it has (also known as the Hamming weight).

Example 1:

Input: 00000000000000000000000000001011
Output: 3
Explanation: The input binary string 00000000000000000000000000001011 has a total of three '1' bits.

Example 2:

Input: 00000000000000000000000010000000
Output: 1
Explanation: The input binary string 00000000000000000000000010000000 has a total of one '1' bit.

Example 3:

Input: 11111111111111111111111111111101
Output: 31
Explanation: The input binary string 11111111111111111111111111111101 has a total of thirty one '1' bits.

Solution

class Solution:
    def hammingWeight(self, n: int) -> int:
        ans = 0
        while n:
            ans += n % 2
            n //= 2

        return ans
