Even or Odd numbers

[killingdyl]

Is it possible to check to see if a number is even or odd?

Just get the remainder after dividing by 2 (modulus I think it's called). If 0, then the number is even. If 1, the number is odd.

There is one way. Since all reals are rounded down when converted to integers, you can do this. Let's say TempReal is the number that you want to find out if its even or odd. TempReal is a real variable. TempInteger is an integer variable.

• Actions
  • Set TempReal = 5.00
  • Set TempInteger = (5 / 2)
  • Set TempReal = ((TempReal / 2.00) - (Real(TempInteger)))

This will actually leave you with TempReal = 0.50. Now let's see for an even number case.

• Actions
  • Set TempReal = 6.00
  • Set TempInteger = (6 / 2)
  • Set TempReal = ((TempReal / 2.00) - (Real(TempInteger)))

This would leave you with TempReal = 0.00. Thus, you can use this to check.

• Actions
  • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • TempReal Equal to 0.50
    • Then - Actions
      • Number is odd. Your actions here.
    • Else - Actions
      • Number is even. Your actions here.
