#     input  = 0000 1001 1111 0110

# 

# ## Algorithm
# 
# 
# * Isolate the odd bits with a mask:
#     0000 1001 1111 0110  num
#     1010 1010 1010 1010  mask
#     --------------------------------
#     0000 1000 1010 0010  num & mask
# 
# * Shift the odd bits right:
#     0000 0100 0101 0001  odd
# 
# * Isolate the even bits with a mask:
#     0000 1001 1111 0110  num
#     0101 0101 0101 0101  mask
#     --------------------------------
#     0000 0001 0101 0100  num & mask
# 
# * Shift the even bits left:
#     0000 0010 1010 1000  even
# 
# * Return even | odd
#     0000 0100 0101 0001  odd
#     0000 0010 1010 1000  even
#     --------------------------------
#     0000 0110 1111 1001  odd | even
