Faster operation to find even or odd

#1

which is faster num % 2 or num & 1 to check whether the number is odd or even?? Please give the reason also…

#2

hello @govilayush

second one is faster ie num&1 becuase it is bitwise operation all bitwise operations are faster than any arithmentic operations

#3

why bitwise operation is faster??

#4

@govilayush
bitwise operations work on bits whereas arithmentic operator work on set of bit ( a decimal number is set of bit) so it is very obvious that bit operation will be little fast
