Difficulty Topics

Description

Given an integer n, return true if it is a power of two. Otherwise, return false.

An integer n is a power of two, if there exists an integer x such that n == 2x.

 

Example 1:

Input: n = 1
Output: true
Explanation: 20 = 1

Example 2:

Input: n = 16
Output: true
Explanation: 24 = 16

Example 3:

Input: n = 3
Output: false

 

Constraints:

  • -231 <= n <= 231 - 1

 

Follow up: Could you solve it without loops/recursion?

        while n >= 2:
            # print(n)
            n /= 2
        # print(n)
        return n == 1
