Sort Integers by The Number of 1 Bits

Easy

You receive an integer array arr . Sort the integers in the array in ascending order by the count of 1 's in their binary representation and in case of two or more integers have the same count of 1 's you have to sort them in ascending order.

Produce the array after sorting it .

Example 1

Input: arr = [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8]

Output: [0,1,2,4,8,3,5,6,7] Explantion: [0] is the only integer with 0 bits.

[1,2,4,8] all have 1 bit.

[3,5,6] have 2 bits.

[7] has 3 bits.

The sorted array by bits is [0,1,2,4,8,3,5,6,7]

Example 2

Input: arr = [1024,512,256,128,64,32,16,8,4,2,1]

Output: [1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256,512,1024] Explantion: All integers have 1 bit in the binary representation, you should just sort them in ascending order.

Constraints

  • 1 <= arr.length <= 500
  • 0 <= arr[i] <= 10^4
