Implement recursively calculate the number of 1 in binary representation in Java

/*use the recursive algorithme to calculate 
 * the number of "1" in the binary expression
 * of an Integer N.
 * Note:if N is an odd, then
 * the result is the result of N/2 plus 1.
 * And the program use the bit operation to
 * improve efficency ,though it's seemingly
 * not necessary ,but the idea I think is good.
 * The program is writed by Zewang Zhang ,at
 * 2015-5-4,in SYSU dorms.
