 * If number is not divisible by 2 i.e remainder = 1, then it is odd
 * therefore, the function will return true
 *
 * If number is divisible by 2 i.e remainder != 1, then it is even
 * therefore, the function will return false

/**
 * @function isOddBitwise
 * @description -> Checking if number is even using bitwise operator
 * Bitwise AND (&) compares the bits of the 32
 * bit binary representations of the number and
 * returns a number after comparing each bit:
 *
 * 0 & 0 -> 0
 * 0 & 1 -> 0
 * 1 & 0 -> 0
 * 1 & 1 -> 1
 *
 * For every odd numbers, the last binary bit will be 1
 * and for even numbers, the last binary bit will be 0.
 *
 * As the number is compared with one, all the
 * other bits except the last will become 0. The
 * last bit will be 0 for even numbers and 1 for
 * odd numbers.

About us

We are a group of programmers helping each other build new things, whether it be writing complex encryption programs, or simple ciphers. Our goal is to work together to document and model beautiful, helpful and interesting algorithms using code. We are an open-source community - anyone can contribute. We check each other's work, communicate and collaborate to solve problems. We strive to be welcoming, respectful, yet make sure that our code follows the latest programming guidelines.
