[Solved] Defining function with an argument, employs while loop and returns largest power of 2 that is less than or equal to number [closed]


A simple while loop works, just make sure you divide the number by 2, otherwise you’ll get the NEXT power of 2.

def function(number):
    x = 1
    while x <= number:
        x *= 2
    return x / 2
