Lone ​​​​​​ones

Given an integer, output the number of lone 1s in its binary representation.

Input

  • An integer from $0$ to $4294967295$ (that is, $2^{32}-1$). In binary that's from 00000000000000000000000000000000 to 11111111111111111111111111111111.
  • You may take input in any form that does not contribute to solving the challenge. For example:
    • A signed or unsigned integer of $32$ bits or more.
    • A string of decimal digits.
    • A binary string.
    • A sequence of bits.

Output

  • The number of 1s in the binary representation that do not have a 1 to their left or right.
  • For avoidance of doubt:
    • A 1 at the left end of the binary representation does not have a 1 to its left.
    • A 1 at the right end of the binary representation does not have a 1 to its right.

Examples

Input $4$ corresponds to 100 in binary. The output is $1$ because there is $1$ 1 bit that is not adjacent to another 1 bit.

Input $5$ corresponds to 101 in binary. The output is $2$ because there are $2$ 1 bits that are not adjacent to another 1 bit.

Input $6$ corresponds to 110 in binary. The output is $0$ because each of the 1 bits is adjacent to another 1 bit.

Test cases

Test cases are in the format input : output.

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.

How to use
trichoplax‭ wrote 7 months ago · edited 7 months ago

Could you give an example of how to use this? I tried pasting that code into the terminal and pressing enter, and then pasting in an input as a binary string 00000000000101000000000000000000 and pressing enter, but it didn't give any output.

You have to press Ctrl-D to signal end of file.

Or you can put it in a script file, and pipe the value into it.

Thank you for the explanation. That's working now.

I did the following:

  • Paste the code into the terminal and press enter.
  • Paste in an input as a binary string and press enter.
  • Press Ctrl-D and see the correct output.
