Hi,

Sorry for the delay. By true bits you mean the ones that are set to 1 ?

Hi Filip,

Yes you're right. For example > 01011011 = So the result should be 5.

Hi,

There is no such function I'm afraid, but you can implemented by yourself - simply by testing each bit in a variable and increment a counter if condition is met.
