摘自《黑客的喜悦》第66页，图5-2

int pop(unsigned x)
{
    x = x - ((x >> 1) & 0x55555555);
    x = (x & 0x33333333) + ((x >> 2) & 0x33333333);
    x = (x + (x >> 4)) & 0x0F0F0F0F;
    x = x + (x >> 8);
    x = x + (x >> 16);
    return x & 0x0000003F;
}

执行大约20条指令(依赖于arch)，没有分支。黑客的喜悦是令人愉快的!强烈推荐。

我使用下面更直观的代码。

int countSetBits(int n) {
    return !n ? 0 : 1 + countSetBits(n & (n-1));
}

逻辑:n & (n-1)重置n的最后一个集合位。

附注:我知道这不是O(1)解，尽管这是一个有趣的解。

unsigned int count_bit(unsigned int x)
{
  x = (x & 0x55555555) + ((x >> 1) & 0x55555555);
  x = (x & 0x33333333) + ((x >> 2) & 0x33333333);
  x = (x & 0x0F0F0F0F) + ((x >> 4) & 0x0F0F0F0F);
  x = (x & 0x00FF00FF) + ((x >> 8) & 0x00FF00FF);
  x = (x & 0x0000FFFF) + ((x >> 16)& 0x0000FFFF);
  return x;
}

我来解释一下这个算法。

该算法基于分治算法。假设有一个8位整数213(二进制的11010101)，算法是这样工作的(每次合并两个邻居块):

+-------------------------------+
| 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 |  <- x
|  1 0  |  0 1  |  0 1  |  0 1  |  <- first time merge
|    0 0 1 1    |    0 0 1 0    |  <- second time merge
|        0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1        |  <- third time ( answer = 00000101 = 5)
+-------------------------------+

对于232查找表和逐个遍历每个位之间的折中方法:

int bitcount(unsigned int num){
    int count = 0;
    static int nibblebits[] =
        {0, 1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 2, 3, 1, 2, 2, 3, 2, 3, 3, 4};
    for(; num != 0; num >>= 4)
        count += nibblebits[num & 0x0f];
    return count;
}

从http://ctips.pbwiki.com/CountBits

对于JavaScript，你可以使用一个查找表来计算一个32位值的设置位的数量(这段代码可以很容易地翻译成C语言)。此外，添加了8位和16位版本，以供通过网络搜索查找的人使用。

const COUNT_BITS_TABLE = makeLookupTable() function makeLookupTable() { const table = new Uint8Array(256) for (let i = 0; i < 256; i++) { table[i] = (i & 1) + table[(i / 2) | 0]; } return table } function countOneBits32(n) { return COUNT_BITS_TABLE[n & 0xff] + COUNT_BITS_TABLE[(n >> 8) & 0xff] + COUNT_BITS_TABLE[(n >> 16) & 0xff] + COUNT_BITS_TABLE[(n >> 24) & 0xff]; } function countOneBits16(n) { return COUNT_BITS_TABLE[n & 0xff] + COUNT_BITS_TABLE[(n >> 8) & 0xff] } function countOneBits8(n) { return COUNT_BITS_TABLE[n & 0xff] } console.log('countOneBits32', countOneBits32(0b10101010000000001010101000000000)) console.log('countOneBits32', countOneBits32(0b10101011110000001010101000000000)) console.log('countOneBits16', countOneBits16(0b1010101000000000)) console.log('countOneBits8', countOneBits8(0b10000010))

我给出了两个算法来回答这个问题，

package countSetBitsInAnInteger;

import java.util.Scanner;

public class UsingLoop {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
        try {
            System.out.println("Enter a integer number to check for set bits in it");
            int n = in.nextInt();
            System.out.println("Using while loop, we get the number of set bits as: " + usingLoop(n));
            System.out.println("Using Brain Kernighan's Algorithm, we get the number of set bits as: " + usingBrainKernighan(n));
            System.out.println("Using ");
        }
        finally {
            in.close();
        }
    }

    private static int usingBrainKernighan(int n) {
        int count = 0;
        while(n > 0) {
            n& = (n-1);
            count++;
        }
        return count;
    }

    /*
        Analysis:
            Time complexity = O(lgn)
            Space complexity = O(1)
    */

    private static int usingLoop(int n) {
        int count = 0;
        for(int i=0; i<32; i++) {
            if((n&(1 << i)) != 0)
                count++;
        }
        return count;
    }

    /*
        Analysis:
            Time Complexity = O(32) // Maybe the complexity is O(lgn)
            Space Complexity = O(1)
    */
}
