MATLAB: Bitwise addition if bit is 1.but not gettin answer.

Question

I am taking one number and converting it into binary and checking each bit whether it is 1 and if it is 1 then is added to next bit which is 1 and result is stored in c.

clc;
q=347;
q=dec2bin(q)
n=size(q,2)
c='0'
for i=1:n
      if q(i)==1
          c=c+q(i)
      end
end

Answer 1

Maybe you want

q=347;
q=dec2bin(q)
c=sum(q=='1')

%or

c=numel(strrep(q,'0',''))
