Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Input a number: ");
int n = in.nextInt();
if (n > 0)
{
System.out.println("Number is positive");
}
else if (n < 0)

IsPowerOfTwo
Checks if a value is positive power of two.
To understand how it works let's assume we made a call IsPowerOfTwo(4).
As value is greater than 0, so right side of the && operator will be evaluated.
The result of (~value + 1) is equal to value itself. ~100 + 001 => 011 + 001 => 100. This is equal to value.
The result of (value & value) is value. 100 & 100 => 100.
This will value the expression to true as value is equal to value.
public static boolean isPowerOfTwo(final int value) { return value > 0 && ((value & (~value + 1)) == value); }
