What is Hamming Weight?

Hamming Weight, also known as population count or set count, is the number of 1 bits in the binary representation of a number. For example, the Hamming Weight of the binary number 1011 is 3, because there are three 1s in the representation.

How to Use This Calculator

  1. Enter a binary number in the input field (e.g., 1101, 10010).
  2. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the Hamming Weight.
  3. The result will be displayed in the result area.

Example

Let's calculate the Hamming Weight of 1110001:

Input: 1110001
Calculation: 1 + 1 + 1 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 1 = 4
Result: 4

Applications

Hamming Weight has various applications in computing, including:

  • Error detection and correction algorithms
  • Data compression techniques
  • Memory and cache management
  • Network protocols
