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

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

return false;

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

EDIT: removed unnecessary else.

Modulo operator my dude.

Every bit aside for the ones bit is even. All you have to do is get the ones bit(the far right) for it being a 1 or 0. Which is the fastest and least amount of code needed.

use bitwise &

// n&1 is true, then odd, or !n&1 is true for even  

 return (!(n & 1));

 private bool IsEven(int number){
    return number % 2 ? false : true;
 }
[–] happyhippo@feddit.it 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Huh?

return number % 2 == 0

That's the only sane solution.

[–] DarkMessiah@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Do note how I said “a decent” way, not “the best” way. Get that huh outta here.

[–] 257m@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)
number % 2 == 0
and
(number & 0b1) == 0

Are the only sane ways to do this. No need to floor. Although If its C and you can't modulo floats then (number/2 == floor(number/2))

[–] homura1650@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you are using floats, you really do not want to have an isEven function ...

[–] 257m@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Whats the alternative a macro? An inline function is perfectly fine for checking if a nunber is even. Compiler will probably optimize it to a single and instruction.

[–] homura1650@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

No. The alternative is to not use a float. Testing if a float is even simply does not make sense.

Even testing two floats for equality rarely makes sense.

What is the correct output of isEven((.2 + .4) ×10)

Hint: (.2 + .4) x 10 != 6

[–] 257m@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It does if it dosen't have a decimal. If it has decimal then it automatically isn't and the function will return false. Are you talking about cases like 0.1 + 0.2 equaling 0.3000000004 because that is just due to the nature of floats and there is nothing a function can do other than use larger floats for more accuracy.
