In this web content, the author discusses a viral TikTok post about a programmer’s attempt to solve the modulus operation problem. The author highlights the criticism faced by the programmer and emphasizes the need to consider fresh perspectives in the rapidly evolving world of programming. They explore the idea of checking if a number is odd or even using comparisons and implement it in the C programming language. The author then scales up the program to solve the problem for larger bit sizes using a meta-programming approach. They encounter limitations in the compiler and file format but find a workaround using assembly code. Finally, they demonstrate the functionality and performance of their program.
