Do "And" operation between the given number and "0000 0001", if the result is 1, then the given number is odd, otherwise even.

Take one's compliment of the number and then mod by 2.

num = ~num;
if (num%2 == 0) {
num is odd;
else
num is even;

if you can ONLY use one bit operation, then AND with 0000 0001 is also good.
