     * of {@param n} from the right and then push all 1 bits to the right
     * of '01' to the extreme right.
     *
     *
     * For example,
     *
     * 3    (0000011)  =   5    (0000101)
     * 6    (0000110)  =   9    (0001001)
     * 23   (0010111)  =   27   (0011011)
     * 24   (0011000)  =   33   (0100001)
     * 46   (0101110)  =   51   (0110011)
