* @author Nishita Aggarwal
* <p>Brian Kernighans Algorithm
* <p>algorithm to count the number of set bits in a given number
* <p>Subtraction of 1 from a number toggles all the bits (from right to left) till the
* rightmost set bit(including the rightmost set bit). So if we subtract a number by 1 and do
* bitwise & with itself i.e. (n & (n-1)), we unset the rightmost set bit.
* <p>If we do n & (n-1) in a loop and count the no of times loop executes we get the set bit
* count.
* <p>
* <p>Time Complexity: O(logn)
