leetcode之Number of 1 Bit

Write a function that takes an unsigned integer and returns the number of ’1’ bits it has (also known as the Hamming weight).

For example, the 32-bit integer ’11’ has binary representation 00000000000000000000000000001011, so the function should return 3.

  public int hammingWeight(int n) {
        int i=0;
        while(n!=0){
            n=n&n-1;
            i++;
        }
        return i;
    }

一遍就过了。炒鸡的自信。。因为在《编程之美》上看到过。但是一直不知道 怎么去解释这个算法 。今天和女朋友讨论了一下。其实就是每次减1的时候。把一个1变成0，而且只变一个1.
