Example of Counting Set Bits in the Data

One method of computing the number of bits set in the data is to evaluate each bit one at a time. The following method requires 32 passes through the data to evaluate each of the 32 bits.

/**
 * Computation of the number of set bits in a 32-bit value.
 *
 * \details Counting of the number of bits set in a value using a loop and
 * evaluating each least significant bit and then right shifting the remaining value by 1.
 *
 * \param    uint32_t in of the value to be computed.
 *
 * \returns  uint32_t numBits of the computation.

uint32_t countBits (uint32_t in)
{
    uint32_t numBits = 0;
    while (in != 0)
    {
        if (in & 0x01) numBits++;
        in >>= 1;
    }
    return numBits;
}
