/******************************************************************************
 * Name:
 * NetID:
 * Precept:
 *
 * Description: This program takes a command-line argument n and prints a
 * table of the powers of 2 that are less than or equal to 2^n.
 *
 * Examples:
 * > java PowersOfTwo 5
 * 0 1
 * 1 2
 * 2 4
 * 3 8
 * 4 16
 * 5 32
 *
 * Remarks:
 * Works only if 0 <= n < 31, because 2^31 overflows an int.
