 4 # Task 2: Sum of Values
 5 # =====================
 6 #
 7 # You are given an array of integers, @int and an integer $k.
 8 #
 9 # Write a script to find the sum of values whose index binary representation has
10 # exactly $k number of 1-bit set.
11 #
12 ## Example 1
13 ##
14 ## Input: @ints = (2, 5, 9, 11, 3), $k = 1
15 ## Output: 17
16 ##
17 ## Binary representation of index 0 = 0
18 ## Binary representation of index 1 = 1
19 ## Binary representation of index 2 = 10
20 ## Binary representation of index 3 = 11
21 ## Binary representation of index 4 = 100
22 ##
23 ## So the indices 1, 2 and 4 have total one 1-bit sets.
24 ## Therefore the sum, $ints[1] + $ints[2] + $ints[3] = 17
25 #
26 ## Example 2
27 ##
28 ## Input: @ints = (2, 5, 9, 11, 3), $k = 2
29 ## Output: 11
30 #
31 ## Example 3
32 ##
33 ## Input: @ints = (2, 5, 9, 11, 3), $k = 0
34 ## Output: 2

42 # For each element of the list:
43 # - calculate the number of 1-bit sets
44 # - compare to $k
45 # - return result of all ints[$i] where $i has $k 1-bits set
