Would this be a case of modulo saving the day?
Like: If Number modulo 2 = 0, true
This has to be taken out of context

The end user yearns for their machine to be utilized fully, so instead of that, you can import full deepseek model to do the task
When did Thor become the dev for Yandere Simulator?
Throwback to when someone shared the OG version of this meme to my uni chat, I replied with "Oh you can simply do
def is_even(n: int) -> boolean:
if n > 0 return not is_even(n - 1)
elif n < 0 return not is_even(n + 1)
else return True
And instead of laughing at the joke the TA in the chat said "When you start getting internships you'll do n % 2" like I was being serious.
private?
private bool isEven(int number){
bool result = true;
while (number > 0){
number = number - 1;
if (result == true)
result = false;
else
result = true;
}
return result;
}
(P.S.: Only works for positive numbers)
This works for both positive and negative numbers:
private static bool isEven(int number)
{
bool result = true;
while (number < 0)
{
number = number - 1;
if (result == true)
result = false;
else
result = true;
}
while (number > 0)
{
number = number - 1;
if (result == true)
result = false;
else
result = true;
}
return result;
}
Output:
isEven(4) = True
isEven(5) = False
isEven(-4) = True
isEven(-5) = False
Why is it all in italics?! I’d reject the PR just for that. Otherwise LGTM
