Can I do it in Ada? I can do C++, but I'm not too fond of it. Note that
Ada doesn't have an unsigned type, so I'm using an integer instead. The
code would be the same regardless.

/http://www.adahome.com/Ammo/cpp2ada.html

function IsPowerOf2(val: integer) return boolean is
result: integer;
begin
result := val rem 2;
if result = 0 then
return true;
else
return false;
end if;
end IsPowerOf2;

Old computers are getting to be a lost art. Here at Uncreative Labs, we
still enjoy using the old computers. Sometimes we want to see how far a
particular system can go, other times we use a stock system to remind
ourselves of what we once had.
