I can't believe he needs that much code for this: 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?

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?

[-] TopRamenBinLaden@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 months ago

I think you are on to something there. Personally, I just don't see the advantage of using iSeven over iSix, though. I might start using iEight whenever they finally iron the kinks out of that one.

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.

Sorry I should've put the /s. I was just playing. But thank you for the helpful explanation, nonetheless. You are a nice person.

Readability over obscure hacks

[-] rustbuckett@lemmings.world 3 points 8 months ago

It's not obscure. This is the example, with syntactic differences, for this problem in almost every programming book I've read. He just didn't include newlines.

At this point, I really can't tell who's joking around or who's being serious in this thread.

Shits cracking me up though reading this all as serious discussion.

Hey now, this is a serious academic conversation about the 2 percent operator.
