这是一个可移植的模块(ANSI-C)，它可以在任何架构上对每个算法进行基准测试。

你的CPU有9位字节?目前它实现了2个算法，K&R算法和一个字节查找表。查找表的平均速度比K&R算法快3倍。如果有人能想出办法使“黑客的喜悦”算法可移植，请随意添加它。

对于Java，有一个Java .util. bitset。 https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/BitSet.html

cardinality():返回在BitSet中设置为true的比特数。

BitSet是内存高效的，因为它被存储为Long类型。

// How about the following:
public int CountBits(int value)
{
    int count = 0;
    while (value > 0)
    {
        if (value & 1)
            count++;
        value <<= 1;
    }
    return count;
}

这是在golang中的实现

func CountBitSet(n int) int {


    count := 0
    for n > 0 {
      count += n & 1
      n >>= 1

    }
    return count
}

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。
