num % 2 isn't a boolean result in any of these languages, so I feel like it would always output "odd"

Edit: 0 is false, everything else is true.

You'd be surprised.

But seriously, numbers can be used as booleans in an impressive number of languages. Including machine code for almost every machine out there.

In JS 0 is the same as False

[-] Lifter@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 days ago

They are not the same, but 0 can be implicitly converted to false.

What do you get if you do: 0 === false
