Power of 4

p
"""

Task:
Given a positive int number. Return True if this number is power of 4
or False otherwise.

Implementation notes: Use bit manipulation.
For example if the number is the power of 2 it's bits representation:
n     = 0..100..00
n - 1 = 0..011..11

n & (n - 1) - no intersections = 0
If the number is a power of 4 then it should be a power of 2
and the set bit should be at an odd position.
