Infallible Code
(lemmy.ml)
Yeah but did you know he worked for Blizzard tho
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

this is like the making chess one
Thanks to goodness, finally. A (giggle & snort) solid algorithm. There ya’s go set yer clocks & go get a haircut.
Oh. I thought that was Elixir until I zoomed in.
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
private?
