+Your task is to count the number of 1 bits in the binary representation of a number.
+
+## Restrictions
+
+Keep your hands off that bit-count functionality provided by your standard library!
+Solve this one yourself using other basic tools instead.

+# Introduction
+
+Your friend Eliud inherited a farm from her grandma Tigist.
+Her granny was an inventor and had a tendency to build things in an overly complicated manner.
+The chicken coop has a digital display showing an encoded number representing the positions of all eggs that could be picked up.
+
+Eliud is asking you to write a program that shows the actual number of eggs in the coop.
+
+The position information encoding is calculated as follows:
+
+1. Scan the potential egg-laying spots and mark down a `1` for an existing egg or a `0` for an empty spot.
+2. Convert the number from binary to decimal.
+3. Show the result on the display.
+
+Example 1:
+
+```text
+Chicken Coop:
+ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
+|E| |E|E| | |E|
+
+Resulting Binary:
+ 1 0 1 1 0 0 1
+
+Decimal number on the display:
+89
+
+Actual eggs in the coop:
+4
+```
+
+Example 2:
+
+```text
+Chicken Coop:
+ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
+| | | |E| | | | |
+
+Resulting Binary:
+ 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0
+
+Decimal number on the display:
+16
+
+Actual eggs in the coop:
+1
+```
