 * implementation
 *
 * @details
 * We are given a positive integer number. We need to check whether the number
 * is power of 2 or not.
 *
 * A binary number consists of two digits. They are 0 & 1. Digit 1 is known as
 * set bit in computer terms.
 * Worst Case Time Complexity: O(1)
 * Space complexity: O(1)
