Usage:
nbits(x), where x consists of 1 or more integers between 0 and
4294967295

Keywords:

nbits(x), where x is an integer with value between 0 and 4294967295
(2^32-1), computes the number of non-zero bits in the binary
representation of x. For example, nbits(123455) is 11 since 123455 has
binary representation 00000000000000011110001000111111b.
If x is not an integer or x < 0 or x > 4294967295, a warning message is
printed and the result is set to MISSING.
If x is a REAL vector, matrix or array or a structure all of whose
components are REAL, nbits(x) is a variable or structure of the same
size and shape as x, each element of which is the number of bits in the
corresponding element of x.
nbits() is useful with the output of modelinfo(bitmodel:T).
Examples:
After anova("y=(a+b)^2 + ((a+b)^2).x",silent:T) the following commands
compute the number of variables or variates in term 5 and in all terms:
Cmd> nvars5 <- sum(vector(nbits(modelinfo(bitmodel:T)[5,]))); nvars5
(1) 2
Cmd> vector(sum(nbits(modelinfo(bitmodel:T)')),labels:TERMNAMES[-8])
CONSTANT a b a.b a.x b.x
