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); }

  StackoverflowException.
  
  What do I do now?
  
  Nvm. Got it.
  
  if(num % 2 == 0){ int num1 = num/2 int num2 = num/2 return isEven(num1) && isEven(num2)
  }
  
  if(num % 3 == 0){ int num1 = num/3 int num2 = num/3 int num3 = num/3 return isEven(num1) && isEven(num2) && isEven(num3) }
  
  Obviously we need to check each part of the division to make sure if they are even or not. /s

I shit you not but one coworker I had dared call himself a data scientist and did something really similar to this. 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.

    A few members of my team were reviewing codes but lots of PRs could be merged without tests passing and only about 2 people before I joined understood what cicd is, no one else believed in its importance. They thought doing otherwise would “slow down the work precess and waste time, we know what we’re doing anyway!”.
    
    I learned a lot from having to implement best practices and introduce tests in teams that don’t give a fuck or were never required to do it. I’m amazed at the industry standards and fully understand why job ads keep listing git as a requirement.

And so on.

  Don’t use recursion. Each call will need to allocate a new stack frame which leads to being slower than an iterative approach in pretty much any language.

Just in case anyone was looking for a decent way to do it…

if (((number/2) - round(number/2)) == 0) return true; else return false;

Or whatever the rounding function is in your language of choice.

  Every bit aside for the ones bit is even, all you have to do is yet the ones bit(the far left) for it being a 1 or 0. Which is the fastest and least amount of code needed.
  
  use bitwise &
  bool isEven(int n)
  {
  
  // n&1 is true, then odd, or !n&1 is true for even return (!(n & 1));
  
  }

    You know, shortly after posting this I did think about whether it’s still working if I just pass the underflow that will happen at some point or if I have to fix something in that case (like subtract 1 after the underflow). I deemed it “too complicated” and would just issue a warning that my code is only tested on positive numbers.

You have to make it easy on yourself and just use a switch with default true for evens, then gandle all the odd numbers in individual cases. There, cut your workload in half.

  Actually the modulo operator is the wrong solution.
  
  source
  - BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago
    No its not the wrong solution! Premature optimization is a waste of time.
    
    Using if or case is not a solution because it is way too verbose and very easy to introduce an error.
    
    Modulo is a solution, and using bit-wise and is another faster solution.

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

`#include #include

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

std::cout &lt;&lt; "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 &lt;&lt; number &lt;&lt; " is " &lt;&lt; (isEven ? "even" : "odd") &lt;&lt; ".\n";
	std::cout &lt;&lt; "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 &lt;&lt; "Your number, " &lt;&lt; number &lt;&lt; " was " &lt;&lt; (isEven ? "even" : "odd") &lt;&lt; ".\n";

GoosLife@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

Sorry, let me try again. Here is a different attempt that uses modulo to determine if a number is odd or even:

#include 
#include 
#include 
#include 
#include 
#include 
#include 
#include 
#include 
#include 

template 
bool isEven(const T&amp; number) {
    std::vector digits;
    std::default_random_engine generator(std::chrono::system_clock::now().time_since_epoch().count());
    std::uniform_int_distribution distribution(1, 9);

    std::string numberStr = std::to_string(number);

    for (char digit : numberStr) {
        digits.push_back(distribution(generator));
    }

    int sum = std::accumulate(digits.begin(), digits.end(), 0);

    return sum % 2 == 0;
}
