Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

COMMENTS
For every bit in the binary representation of n, if it is one then add the number represented by the substring left of it, and if it is zero subtract that.
FORMULA
a(n) = sum(k=0..floor(log(n)/log(2)), (2*bittest(n,k)-1) * floor(n/2^(k+1)) ) = sum(k=0..A000523(n), (2*A030308(n,k+1)-1) * floor(n/2^(k+1)) ), with bittest(n,k)=0 or 1 according to the k-th bit of n (the zeroth bit the least significant).
a(n) = A233905(n) - A233931(n).
EXAMPLE
27 is 11011 in binary, so we add 1, subtract 11=3, add 110=6, and add 1101=13, so a(27)=17.
PROG
(PARI) a(n)=sum(k=0, floor(log(n)/log(2)), (2*bittest(n, k)-1)*floor(n/2^(k+1)))
(PARI) a(n)=if(n<1, 0, if(n%2, a(n\2)+n\2, a(n/2)-n/2))
