Solve [3B] for n, replace in [4B], and define a new variable c such that

[6.57] Sum binary '1' digits in an integer
Some applications need to find the number of '1' digits in a binary integer. For example, this sum is
needed to calculate a parity bit. Another example would be a game or a simulation in which positions
are stored as '1' digits in an integer, and you need to find the total number of pieces in all positions.
The following TI Basic function will find the number of 1's in the input argument n.
