What is an Odd Byte? Counting Odd Bytes from ff00 to ffff

[Iyafrady]

I need to write a program to count the number of odd bytes from ff00 to ffff.I need clarification on what exactly an odd byte is.Anyone know the number i should expect?

-thanks

Numbers that end in 1,3,5,7,9 ?
Hint, what's special about the last bit

idk, so
0000 0000 is even byte
0000 0001 is odd byte
0000 0010 is even byte
0000 0101 is odd byte
so even decimal numbers are even bytes and odd decimal numbers are odd bytes??If the last bit is 0, then its an even byte and if the last bit is 1 its a odd byte?

I don't know how to interpret what you said,

Numbers that end in 1,3,5,7,9 ?

or b,d,f

Hint, what's special about the last bit
