Largest Pow of Two Le Num

p
"""
Author  : Naman Sharma
Date    : October 2, 2023

Task:
To Find the largest power of 2 less than or equal to a given number.

Implementation notes: Use bit manipulation.
We start from 1 & left shift the set bit to check if (res<<1)<=number.
Each left bit shift represents a pow of 2.

For example:
number: 15
res:    1   0b1
        2   0b10
        4   0b100
        8   0b1000
        16  0b10000 (Exit)
