WordPress changes HTML code of the page
Sometimes, we need to implement an external HTML code or specify HTML by design inside a WordPress page.
When we use the text editor of WordPress we have the option to do just that, but if we look closely on the HTML that is generated after the specific page is rendered, we can see some alteration to the code.

One of the questions that fit this requirement is the “count the 1’s in the binary representation of an integer”.
