The gmp_popcount() is a built-in function in PHP which is used to find the population count of a GMP number (
GNU Multiple Precision : For large numbers). We can also say that this function is used to find the number of set bits in the binary representation of a GMP number.
Syntax:
gmp_popcount ( $num )
Parameters: This function accepts a GMP number
$num as a mandatory parameter as shown in the above syntax. This parameter can be a GMP object in PHP version 5.6 and later, or we are also allowed to pass a numeric string provided that it is possible to convert that string to a number.
Return Value: This function returns an integer which is the population count or the number of set bits in binary representation of a GMP number passed to it as parameter.
Examples:
Input : "9"
Output : 2
Input : "25"
Output : 3
