A couple of other data points: - Swift has nonzeroBitCount: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swift/int/2886050-nonzerobitcount - Rust has count_ones: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/primitive.u64.html - Go's math/bits package has OnesCount - The closest thing in Mathematica appears to be DigitCount, which isn't base-specific. @Mark Shannon: what name would you suggest, and why? The term "population count" feels too non-obvious and specialist to me, and anything involving "Hamming" likewise. "count_ones" isn't obviously a bit operation. "count_set_bits"? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue29882> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
