Description:

POPCNT(I) returns the number of bits set (’1’ bits) in the binary representation of I.

Standard:

Fortran 2008 and later

Class:

Elemental function

Syntax:

RESULT = POPCNT(I)

Arguments:

I	Shall be of type INTEGER.

  print *, popcnt(127),       poppar(127)
  print *, popcnt(huge(0_4)), poppar(huge(0_4))
  print *, popcnt(huge(0_8)), poppar(huge(0_8))
end program test_population
