LeetCode 191: Counting 1 Bits with Python's bit_count() Method

LeetCode 191: Number of 1 Bits (also known as finding the Hamming Weight). The Efficiency Secret: While you can solve this using a while loop with bit-shifting or a string conversion, Python’s built-in bit_count() method is implemented directly at the C-level in the interpreter. It provides the most efficient way to count set bits in an integer. The Results: 🎯 Runtime: 0 ms (Beats 100.00%) 🧠 Memory: 17.53 MB (Beats 92.87%) This solve marks a great addition to my recent streak of 100% efficiency beats in both memory and runtime across various string and math problems. Consistency is paying off! #LeetCode #Python #BitManipulation #CleanCode #Optimization #SoftwareEngineering #Consistency
