Funding 401k with Bonus

Does it make sense to put in half my bonus into my 401k ?

Can someone explain how company match works, after reading through threads it seems that matches are on a per paycheck basis, not on a total basis

So if I max out my 401k with only 1 contribution form my bonus instead of 24 contributions a year (biweekly pay) I’m missing out on company match?

I don’t understand !!!
