        int count = 0;
        while (n != 0) {
            count += n & 1;
            n >>= 1;
        }
        return count;
    }
}

Python

def fun(n):
    count = 0
    while n:
        count += n & 1
        n >>= 1

Question 8

Predict the output:

C++

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    int x = -5;
    x = x >> 1;
    cout << x << endl;
    return 0;
}

C

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    int x = -5;
    x = x >> 1;
    printf("%d\n", x);
    return 0;
}

Java

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int x = -5;
        x = x >> 1;
        System.out.println(x);
    }
}

Python

# x is initialized to -5
x = -5
# Right shift operation
x = x >> 1
# Print the result
print(x)

JavaScript

// x is initialized to -5
let x = -5;
// Right shift operation
x = x >> 1;
// Print the result
console.log(x);

What is the output of the below code?

C++

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
    if (~0 == 1)
        cout << "Yes";
    else
        cout << "No";
}

C

#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
    if (~0 == 1)
        printf("Yes");
    else
        printf("No");
    return 0;
}

Java

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        if (~0 == 1)
            System.out.println("Yes");
        else
            System.out.println("No");
    }
}

Python

if ~0 == 1:
    print("Yes")
else:
    print("No")
