Issue will be closed if:

1) You mention more than one algorithm. You can create a separate issue for each algorithm once the current one is completed.
2) You propose an algorithm that is already present or has been mentioned in a previous issue.
3) You create a new issue without completing your previous issue.

Note: These actions will be taken seriously. Failure to follow the guidelines may result in the immediate closure of your issue.

Name:

[Bit Manipulation: Counting the Number of 1s (Hamming Weight)]

About:

The Hamming weight (or population count) of an integer is the number of 1 bits present in its binary representation. For example, the binary representation of 29 is 11101, which has four 1 bits, so its Hamming weight is 4.

Why It Matters:

  1. Error Detection: In error detection schemes, counting the number of 1s can help determine if data has been corrupted.

  2. Cryptography: It plays a role in ensuring the security of cryptographic algorithms by measuring the density of bits.

  3. Computer Graphics: In graphics processing, it may be used to optimize rendering by managing pixels efficiently.
