Binary Palindrome Check

/**
 * This class contains a method to check if the binary representation of a number is a palindrome.
 * <p>
 *     A binary palindrome is a number whose binary representation is the same when read from left to right and right to left.
 *     For example, the number 9 has a binary representation of 1001, which is a palindrome.
 *     The number 10 has a binary representation of 1010, which is not a palindrome.
