Changelist

Here's your brief as a list, based on what you've stated you've done:

I have:

• Completed exercises on binary numbers and representations.
• Converted numbers between binary, decimal, and hexadecimal.
• Performed binary arithmetic.
• Calculated bit requirements for various number ranges.
• Identified the bitwise trick for checking powers of two.
• Demonstrated how a single byte can represent a decimal number, an ASCII character, or a color.

Questions

Beyond these exercises, what's a practical, real-world scenario where understanding these low-level binary/hex/byte interpretations becomes critical in programming?

Have a think about the comment I added, and then we are good to go! Great work :)

[chinar-amrutkar]

Can you think of a simpler way of doing this?

[Luke-Manyamazi]

A number is a power of two if you can keep dividing it by 2 until you reach 1, with no remainders along the way. If at any point there’s a remainder, it’s not a power of two.

If all is well please help me mark the PR as complete.
