Eliud's Eggs
Welcome to Eliud's Eggs on Exercism's Elixir Track.
If you need help running the tests or submitting your code, check out HELP.md
.
Introduction
Your friend Eliud inherited a farm from her grandma Tigist. Her granny was an inventor and had a tendency to build things in an overly complicated manner. The chicken coop has a digital display showing an encoded number representing the positions of all eggs that could be picked up.
Eliud is asking you to write a program that shows the actual number of eggs in the coop.
The position information encoding is calculated as follows:
- Scan the potential egg-laying spots and mark down a
1
for an existing egg or a0
for an empty spot. - Convert the number from binary to decimal.
- Show the result on the display.
Example 1:
Chicken Coop:
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
|E| |E|E| | |E|
Resulting Binary:
1 0 1 1 0 0 1
Decimal number on the display:
89
Actual eggs in the coop:
4
Example 2:
Chicken Coop:
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
| | | |E| | | | |
Resulting Binary:
0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0
Decimal number on the display:
16
Actual eggs in the coop:
1
Instructions
Your task is to count the number of 1 bits in the binary representation of a number.
Restrictions
Keep your hands off that bit-count functionality provided by your standard library! Solve this one yourself using other basic tools instead.
