* Brian Kernighans Algorithm
* algorithm to count the number of set bits in a given number
* 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 (n & (n-1)), we unset the rightmost set bit.
* If we do n & (n-1) in a loop and count the no of times loop
* executes we get the set bit count.
* Number of iterations of the loop is equal to the number of
* set bits in a given integer.
*
* Time Complexity: O(logn)
*
