I wish

They call me a StackOverflow expert:

        private bool isEven(int num) {
    if (num == 0) return true;
    if (num == 1) return false;
    if (num ＜ 0) return isEven(-1 * num);
    return isEven(num - 2);
    }
  

Just print True all the time. Half the time it will be correct and the client will be happy, and the other half the time, they will open a ticket that will be marked as duplicate and closed.

I shit you not but one coworker I had dared call himself a data scientist and did something really similar to this but in Python and in production code. He should never have been hired. Coding in python was a requirement. I spent a good year sorting out through his spaghetti code and eventually rebuilt everything he had been working on because it was so bad that it only worked on his computer and he always pip freezes all requirements, and since he never used a virtual environment that meant we got a list of ALL packages he had installed on pip for a project. Out of those 100, only about 20 were relevant to the project.

Wow. Amateur hour over here. There's a much easier way to write this.

A case select:

    
select(number){
    case 1:
        return false;
    case 2:
        return true;
}

  

And so on.

Just do a while loop and subtract 2 if it's positive or plus 2 is it's negative until it reaches 1 or 0 and that's how you know, easy! /s

The number of comments posting a better solution is funny and somewhat concerning.

This is your brain on python:

        def is_even (num):
         return num in [x*2 for x in range(sys.maxsize / 2)]
  

Because YandereDev is a legendary moron I can't even tell if this is a joke or not.

Just do npm install isEven and don't worry about it.

There is absolutely no need to add a check for each individual number, just do this:

 c++

    
#include 
#include 


int main()
{
    int number = 0;
    int numberToAdd = 1;
    int modifier = 1;

    std::cout << "Is your number [p]ositive or [n]egative? (Default: positive)\n";
    if (std::cin.get() == 'n') {
        modifier *= -1;
    }

    std::cin.ignore(std::numeric_limits::max(), '\n'); // Clear the input buffer

    bool isEven = true;
    bool running = true;

    while (running) {
        std::cout << number << " is " << (isEven ? "even" : "odd") << ".\n";
        std::cout << "Continue? [y/n] (Default: yes)\n";

        if (std::cin.peek() == 'n') {
            running = false;
        }

        number += numberToAdd * modifier;
        isEven = !isEven;

        std::cin.ignore(std::numeric_limits::max(), '\n');
    }

    std::cout << "Your number, " << number << " was " << (isEven ? "even" : "odd") << ".\n";
}
  

Oh man, in js we have a package for this magic.

Good job my young padawan, let me teach you about the modulo operator ...

number == 0 is not handled

Plot twist: it's generated code for the purpose of the joke.

Ok looks like this might be the source, and I suspect it is actually satirical. Not yanderedev, but yeah... wouldn't put it past him.

Recently there was a thread trying to declare PHP obsolete.

Hard to beat this in efficiency:

    
function is_even($num) {
    return $num % 2 === 0;
}


  

That said, this should work similarly in most languages.

no way this is real

You only need to do the comparison on the last digit.

We're too swamped for that kind of thinking. Just keep typing or we'll never make our release window

There is a simpler way: all the "else if"s can be replaced with simple "if"s

I can't believe he needs that much code for this: bool iseven(int number){ if (number % 2 == 0){ return true; } else { return false; } }

If only you could do something like..

def IsEven(number): return number % 2 == 0

I, EvaX, humbly submit a toast to Nicholas Alexander for successfully managing to pirate WarCraft III so that he may play Defense of the Ancients.

Congratulations Nick. Enjoy your DotA!

(sips from milk goblet)

string taco = variable.ToString()[variable.ToString().Length - 1];

If (taco == "0" || taco == "2" || taco == "4" || taco == "6" || taco == "8")

return true;

else

return false;

Im something of a coding master myself

Modulus equals zero anyone?
