#!/usr/bin/env perl # Challenge 059 # # TASK #2 › Bit Sum # Reviewed by Ryan Thompson # Helper Function # For this task, you will most likely need a function f(a,b) which returns the # count of different bits of binary representation of a and b. # # For example, f(1,3) = 1, since: # # Binary representation of 1 = 01 # # Binary representation of 3 = 11 # # There is only 1 different bit. Therefore the subroutine should return 1. Note # that if one number is longer than the other in binary, the most significant # bits of the smaller number are padded (i.e., they are assumed to be zeroes). # # Script Output # You script should accept n positive numbers. Your script should sum the result # of f(a,b) for every pair of numbers given: # # For example, given 2, 3, 4, the output would be 6, # since f(2,3) + f(2,4) + f(3,4) = 1 + 2 + 3 = 6 use Modern::Perl; use Math::Combinatorics 'combine'; my @n = @ARGV; my $sum = 0; for my $combin (combine(2, @n)) { $sum += f($combin->[0], $combin->[1]); } say $sum; sub f { my($a, $b) = @_; my $r = ($a+0) ^ ($b+0); my $rt = sprintf("%b", $r); return $rt =~ tr/1/1/; }
