Python Program to Check Even or Odd Using Bitwise AND Operator | Python for Beginners

Welcome to our Python Programs for Beginners series! In this video, you'll learn how to check whether a number is even or odd using the Bitwise AND Operator (&) in Python. Instead of using the traditional modulus operator, we’ll explore a faster and more efficient technique using bitwise operations. You’ll see how binary patterns help us quickly determine if a number is even or odd based on its last bit. 👨‍🏫 In This Video, You'll Learn: What are even and odd numbers? How even and odd numbers look in binary format Why even numbers end with 0 and odd numbers end with 1 in binary How the Bitwise AND Operator works at the binary level Writing a Python program using n & 1 condition Performing a dry run with real examples (10 and 9) 🧠 Concept Recap: n & 1 == 0 → Even number n & 1 == 1 → Odd number 📌 Example Outputs: Input: 10 → Output: The number is even Input: 9 → Output: The number is odd Whether you're a beginner or just brushing up on bitwise logic, this tutorial is a simple and clear introduction to binary-level operations in Python.
