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)
    */
}

"最佳算法"是什么意思?短码还是长码?您的代码看起来非常优雅，并且具有恒定的执行时间。代码也很短。

但如果速度是主要因素，而不是代码大小，那么我认为以下方法可以更快:

       static final int[] BIT_COUNT = { 0, 1, 1, ... 256 values with a bitsize of a byte ... };
        static int bitCountOfByte( int value ){
            return BIT_COUNT[ value & 0xFF ];
        }

        static int bitCountOfInt( int value ){
            return bitCountOfByte( value ) 
                 + bitCountOfByte( value >> 8 ) 
                 + bitCountOfByte( value >> 16 ) 
                 + bitCountOfByte( value >> 24 );
        }

我认为这不会更快的64位值，但32位值可以更快。

#!/user/local/bin/perl


    $c=0x11BBBBAB;
     $count=0;
     $m=0x00000001;
    for($i=0;$i<32;$i++)
    {
        $f=$c & $m;
        if($f == 1)
        {
            $count++;
        }
        $c=$c >> 1;
    }
    printf("%d",$count);

ive done it through a perl script. the number taken is $c=0x11BBBBAB   
B=3 1s   
A=2 1s   
so in total  
1+1+3+3+3+2+3+3=19

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

为什么不迭代地除以2呢?

count = 0
while n > 0
  if (n % 2) == 1
    count += 1
  n /= 2  

我同意这不是最快的，但是“最好”这个词有点含糊不清。我认为“最好”应该有一个清晰的元素

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))
