  bool iseven(int number){ if (number % 2 == 0){ return true; } else { return false; } }

    I like the example in the post better. It is more clear as to what is going on to an experienced dev like me. What’s this 2 percent nonsense?

      Explanation: the percent is modulus. Basically it’s just divide the first number by the second and return the remainder. If you do number % 2, it will return 1 if it is odd and 0 if it is even. For example 4/2 has a remainder of 0 and therefore is even. 3/2 has a remainder of 1, and therefore is odd.

      I like the example in the comment better. It is more confusing as to what is going on to an experienced dev like me. iSeven is always odd tho right?

  Modulus equals zero anyone?

    That’s the joke

    but that operation is expensive

      So what? It works and it’s better than precompiling a list of all known even and odd numbers, and expecting a computer to iterate through a whole list every time it wants to check the value of something.

      The stupid trig tables are just as problematic and it’s why graphics chips use other geometric functions instead. It’s just better to use a modulus.

      Nah, it compiles down to an AND because of the constant 2

  They really should mod the language to support this.

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

    You mean make it even worse.(performance wise)? Interesting.

      Please elaborate. When and why would his suggestion be worse?

  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!
