Question: Consider a recursive function that will calculate and return the sum of bits in an integer decimal number ( the input argument ) . For

Consider a recursive function that will calculate and return the sum of bits in an integer decimal number (the input argument). For example, we know that 14 in decimal is 1110 in binary. The sum of the bits is 3. Note that the bits are obtained using synthetic floor division by 2 and modulus 2 arithmetic. For the example, start with the quotient q=14.
The rightmost bit is obtained by q%2=14%2=0
Recalculate the new quotient as q=q??2=14??2=7
Next bit is 9%2=7%2=1
next quotient q=q??2=7??2=3
next bit is q%2=3%2=1
next quotient q=q??2=3??2=1
next bit is q%2=1%3=1
next quotient q=q??2=1??2=0(base case)
Complete the following code:
def recur(n):
return 0
else:
 Consider a recursive function that will calculate and return the sum
