- Apart from these two approaches, other bitwise operators, such as the bitwise XOR operator (`^`), can also be used to check if a number is even or odd.

MD013 - Line length
Tags: line_length
Aliases: line-length Parameters: linelength, codeblocks, tables (number; default 80, boolean; default true)
This rule is triggered when there are lines that are longer than the configured line length (default: 80 characters). To fix this, split the line up into multiple lines.
This rule has an exception where there is no whitespace beyond the configured line length. This allows you to still include items such as long URLs without being forced to break them in the middle.
You also have the option to exclude this rule for code blocks and tables. To
do this, set the code_blocks
and/or tables
parameters to false.
Code blocks are included in this rule by default since it is often a requirement for document readability, and tentatively compatible with code rules. Still, some languages do not lend themselves to short lines.

The **modulo operator** (`%`) returns the **remainder of a division operation**. Given that, we can check if a number is even or odd by dividing it by `2` and checking the remainder. If the remainder is `0`, the number is even, otherwise it's odd.

MD002 - First header should be a top level header
Tags: headers
Aliases: first-header-h1
Parameters: level (number; default 1)
This rule is triggered when the first header in the document isn't a h1 header:
## This isn't a H1 header
### Another header
The first header in the document should be a h1 header:
# Start with a H1 header
## Then use a H2 for subsections

- While both approaches work, the modulo operator is more readable and should be preferred.

The **bitwise AND operator** (`&`) returns `1` if both bits are `1`, otherwise it returns `0`. The binary representation of an even number always ends with `0`, while the binary representation of an odd number always ends with `1`. As such, applying the bitwise AND operator to a number and `1` will return `0` for even numbers and `1` for odd numbers. In order to convert this result to a boolean, we can use the `Boolean()` function.
