Instead of this (unfortunately too often seen in the real code) "masterpiece": function isEven(n) { return n % 2 == 0; } function isOdd(n) { if (isEven(n)) { return false; } else { return true; } } You can do the parity check much more effecti...

var a = 11, b = 22; a = a ^ b; b = a ^ b; a = a ^ b; console.log("a = " + a + "; b = " + b);// a is now 22 and b is now 11

Shifting bits left (right) is equivalent to multiplying (dividing) by 2. It's the same in base 10: if we "left-shift" 13 by 2 places, we get 1300, or 13 * (10 ** 2). And if we take 12345 and "right-shift" by 3 places and then remove the decimal part, we get 12, or Math.floor(1234...
