How many odd digits?

+1
−0

Given a positive integer, count its odd digits.

Input

  • An integer from 1 to 999,999,999, inclusive, in any of the following formats:
    • A number (such as an integer or floating point number), like 123.
    • A string, like "123".
    • A sequence of characters (such as an array or list), like ['1', '2', '3'].
    • A sequence of single digit numbers, like [1, 2, 3].

Output

  • The number of odd digits in the input.

Test cases

Test cases are in the format input : output.

1 : 1
2 : 0
3 : 1
4 : 0
5 : 1
6 : 0
7 : 1
8 : 0
9 : 1
10 : 1
11 : 2
12 : 1
13 : 2
14 : 1
15 : 2
16 : 1
17 : 2
18 : 1
19 : 2
20 : 0
111111111 : 9
222222222 : 0
123456789 : 5
999999999 : 9

Scoring

This is a code golf challenge. Your score is the number of bytes in your code. Lowest score for each language wins.

Explanations are optional, but I'm more likely to upvote answers that have one.

Input format (5 comments)

Python, 37 27 bytes

First, with input as an integer:

lambda i:sum(ord(x)&1for x in str(i))

This converts the number to string (in the base-10 default) and processes each character. It exploits the fact that digit symbols 0..9 are consecutive in Unicode and 0 corresponds to an even code point (if it were odd, the code would have to use ord(~x) instead).

ord is used to process each character individually. The alternative would be to convert the string to bytes and use the numeric values that come (assuming Python 3.x) from iterating over the bytes directly. However, any such conversion results in longer code. Also, while Python offers direct int->bytes conversions, they do the wrong thing: bytes(i) creates an object of that many bytes with all zero values, and i.to_bytes() gives a binary representation.

As a list of digit values, of course we can just process them directly:

lambda i:sum(x&1for x in i)

This can be done in pure FP primitives instead of using a comprehension. But it's longer, despite the eta reduction:

lambda i:sum(map((1).__and__,i))

(The parentheses around 1 are syntactically necessary.)

More flexible input formats (2 comments)
More flexible input formats

In response to a comment on the challenge, I've decided to make the input format more flexible. This leaves your current answer just as valid as before, but I'm letting you know because it is likely you can use the added flexibility to reduce your score.
