Count Set bits in an array of integers

assume you have an array of 5 integers and you want to count the numbers of set bits in all array elements , write a function to do that

Solution

	#include <stdio.h>
	#include <stdlib.h>
	#define size 5
	int count_set_bits(int *array)
	{
	int count=0;
	for(int i=0;i<size;i++)
	{
	for(int j=0;j<32;j++)
	{
	if(array[i]&(1<<j))
	{
	count++;
	}
	}
	}
	return count;
	}
	int main(int argc, char** argv) {
	int data[size]={1,2,3,4,5};
	printf("Number of set bits in this array = %d bits \n",count_set_bits(data));
	return (EXIT_SUCCESS);
	}
