Computer coding ex question

Question

1. Refer to the loop starting at line 003. If the function is called with a 2 digit decimal number, how many times will the while loop execute?

001 unsigned int bitCount (int value) {

002 unsigned int count = 0;

003   while (value > 0) { / / until all bits are zero

004 if ( ( value & 1) == 1) { / / check lower bit

005 count++;

006 }

007 value >> 1; / / shift bits, removing lower bit

008   }

009   return count;

010 }

1. Infinite
2. 1
3. 2
4. At least 4

Answer 1

That's going to lock up your machine....

There is no guarantee you are going to get an exact binary representation of a decimal fraction
