Eliud's Eggs

Welcome to Eliud's Eggs on Exercism's C 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:

  1. Scan the potential egg-laying spots and mark down a 1 for an existing egg or a 0 for an empty spot.
  2. Convert the number from binary to decimal.
  3. Show the result on the display.

Example 1

Seven individual nest boxes arranged in a row whose first, third, fourth and seventh nests each have a single egg.

 _ _ _ _ _ _ _
|E| |E|E| | |E|

Resulting Binary

1011001

 _ _ _ _ _ _ _
|1|0|1|1|0|0|1|

Decimal number on the display

89

Example 2

Seven individual nest boxes arranged in a row where only the fourth nest has an egg.

 _ _ _ _ _ _ _
| | | |E| | | |

Resulting Binary

|0|0|0|1|0|0|0|

Decimal number on the display

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.
