POPCNT

Elemental Intrinsic Function (Generic): Returns the number of 1 bits in an integer.

Syntax

result = POPCNT (i)

i
Integer.

Results:

The result type is the same as i. The result value is the number of 1 bits in the binary representation of the integer i.

The model for the interpretation of an integer value as a sequence of bits is shown in Model for Bit Data.

Example

If the value of I is B'0...00011010110', the value of POPCNT(I) is 5.
