Count set bits in a number or range of natural numbers
Project description
🔢 SetBitCount
Count set bits in a single number or across a range of natural numbers — simple, fast and Pythonic.
💡 What is a Set Bit?
A set bit is a binary digit that is 1.
For example:
3 in binary = 011 → 2 set bits
7 in binary = 111 → 3 set bits
This package counts set bits in a single number or across an entire range of natural numbers in one call.
📦 Installation
pip install setbitcounter-pkg
🚀 Usage
from setbitcounter.countset import countsetbit
Count set bits in a single number:
from setbitcounter.countset import countsetbit
print(countsetbit(3))
# Output: 2
# Because 3 = 011 in binary → 2 set bits
Count set bits across a range:
from setbitcounter.countset import countsetbit
print(countsetbit(1, 7))
# Output: 12
# Counts all set bits in numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
🧠 How the Range Works
| Number | Binary | Set Bits |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 001 | 1 |
| 2 | 010 | 1 |
| 3 | 011 | 2 |
| 4 | 100 | 1 |
| 5 | 101 | 2 |
| 6 | 110 | 2 |
| 7 | 111 | 3 |
| Total | 12 |
