Is there any reason to use (nr & 1 == 0) over (nr % 2 == 0) to check for parity?

Is there any actual difference in performance? Is it faster? (lets say I use it in at least 100 cases in the same program, would it improve my program in terms of speed?)

Is NR the same as 5G?

5G New Radio (NR) is the global standard for a unified, more capable 5G wireless air interface. It will deliver significantly faster and more responsive mobile broadband experiences, and extend mobile technology to connect and redefine a multitude of new industries.

What is the difference between NR and LTE?

Unlike LTE, NR does not include cell-specific reference signals but instead it relies on user-specific demodulation reference signals for channel estimation which also supports beamforming and multi-antenna transmission.

What is NR in mobile data?

What is 5G New Radio (NR)? 5G New Radio, or 5G NR, is a set of standards that replace the LTE network 4G wireless communications standard. An important goal of 5G NR is to support the growth of wireless communication by enhancing electromagnetic radiation spectrum efficiency for mobile broadband.

How does 5G NR work?

5G NR utilises modulation, waveforms and access technologies that will enable the system to meet the needs of high data rate services, those needing low latency and those needing small data rates and long battery lifetimes amongst others. The first iteration of 5G NR appeared in 3GPP Release 15.

This question might be more appropriate on Software Engineering Stack Exchange.

If you're using an optimizing compiler chances are any form of n % <power of two> will get optimized to n & <power of two minus one> anyway, since they are equivalent but on pretty much every architecture I can think of the latter is much more efficient.

The former form expresses your intent more clearly, though a lot of developers will recognize n & 1 as a "faster version" of n % 2.
