Somewhere in a past life, I remember coming across an algorithm for counting
the number of 1-bits in a string of n-bits; but I've forgotten where. Jog
any memories? And yes, it's pertinent to a project I have going: ( Keep
track of the number of days, day-by-day, that each of x-million individuals
has been 'doing-something' for the last 20-30 years. Bit strings, in 365
bit chuncks, seems like an efficient way to keep track of an individual's
yearly participation. Yes? Any suggestions?) TIA
