modulo

pseudocode:

if number % 2 == 0
  return "number is even" (is_num_even = 1 or true)
else
  return "number is odd" (is_num_even = 0 or false)

plus you'd want an input validation beforehand

who needs modulo when you can get less characters out of

while (number > 1) {
  number -= 2;
}
return number;

very efficient

edit: or theres the trusty iseven api

here is somewhat less:

return (number % 2) == 0;

This is the way. Modulo takes too long to compute, bitwise compare should be a lot faster.

return !(number & 0x1);

just check the last bit jesus christ, what is it with these expensive modulo operations?!

return !(n&1);

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

are the negative numbers all even?

#You are an input. You have value! You matter!
if number % 2 == 0
  return "number is even" (is_num_even = 1 or true)
else
  return "number is odd" (is_num_even = 0 or false)

Am I doing it right? /S.

Don't put nbsps in code blocks, they show up literally.

This code is terrible. If you input 10.66 it returns "number is odd

It should be:

if number % 2 == 0
  return "number is even" (is_num_even = 1 or true)
else
  return "number is not even" (is_num_even = 0 or false)
