Counting Bits

Given a non negative integer number num. For every numbers i in the range 0 ≤ i ≤ num calculate the number of 1's in their binary representation and return them as an array.

Example: For num = 5 you should return [0,1,1,2,1,2].

It is very easy to come up with a solution with run time O(n*sizeof(integer)). But can you do it in linear time O(n) /possibly in a single pass? Space complexity should be O(n). Can you do it like a boss? Do it without using any builtin function like __builtin_popcount in c++ or in any other language. Hint:

You should make use of what you have produced already. Divide the numbers in ranges like [2-3], [4-7], [8-15] and so on. And try to generate new range from previous. Or does the odd/even status of the number help you in calculating the number of 1s?

class Solution {
public:
    vector<int> countBits(int num) {
        if(num < 0)   return {};
        vector<int> res(num + 1, 0);
        for(int i = 1; i <= num; i++){
            res[i] = res[i&(i - 1) - 1] + 1;
        }   
        return res;
    }
};
