Yes. Sockpuppets just show how low you are.

/* package whatever; // don't place package name! */

import java.util.*;
import java.lang.*;
import java.io.*;

/* Name of the class has to be "Main" only if the class is public. */
class Ideone
{
	public static void main (String[] args) throws java.lang.Exception
	{
		Scanner sc=new Scanner(System.in);
		int num=sc.nextInt();
		int count_SetBit=countSetBit(num);
		System.out.println(count_SetBit);
	}
	public static int countSetBit(int num)
	{
		int count=0;
		int mask=0x0001;
		while(Math.abs(num)>0)
		{
			if((num&mask)==1)
				count++;
			num>>>=1;
		}
		return count;
	}

}
This Solution works for negative and positive number both.

C# using Math.Pow function. Not as sexy as the other solutions, but it works :)

protected int NumberOfOnes(int anInt)
    {
        int retVal = 0;
        
        int pow = 0;
        while (Math.Pow(2,pow) <= anInt)
            pow++;

        while (pow >= 0) {
            if (anInt >= Math.Pow(2,pow)) {
                anInt -= (int)Math.Pow(2,pow);
                retVal++;
            }
            pow--;
        }
        return retVal;
    }

To resolve the negative integer issue, cast to unsigned.

unsigned int count1s(int number) {
	unsigned int unumber = (unsigned int) number;
	unsigned int count = 0;
	while(unumber) {
		count += 1 ? (unumber & 1) : 0;
		unumber = unumber >> 1;
	};
	return count;
}

run like ./prog.rb 0 1 234 234234234

ARGV.each.map(&:to_i).each.inject(0) {|count, n| (((count += (n & 1)) && (n = n >> 1) while n != 0) || (puts count)) ? 0 : 0}

outputs:

0
1
5
16

In Golfscript, run like this echo "1 2 3 365 2 1" | golfscript [scriptname]:

[~]{{0=!}{2/}/}%{{1&}%{+}*}%`

def count1s(self, num):
        x = [ c for c in bin(num) if c == '1']
        return len(x)

this actually works for positive numbers. negative numbers's 1s can be cumbersome to calculate though..

yes, you are right. depending on whether number int or long, we can do the following then:

int count = 0;
for(int i=0;i<len;i++){//where len =  32 if int, 64 otherwise
  if ((n & (1 << i)) > 0){
    count++;
  }
}
count+=(n >> (len-1)) & 1;

This solution does not even scale for positive numbers.

Lets consider val = 1001
The result from tour code returns 7, but the actual result is 6.

Kiran, not sure about your scaling comment or not, but 1001 should return 7. 512+256+128+64+32+8+1 = 1001.
