is integer even/odd

[The_Prophet]

is there a function that returns a boolean stating if an integer is even/odd?

 

[U are a noob]

not sure you can try to list ever inderger to 100

Thats sort of what im doing, just doing a huge if then listing all the odd numbers my integer can be. But it would still be nice to find a more efficient way to do this.

Hey good question, I gave it a little thought and heres a quick work around. (Too bad no function is included to do this but...)

First, Take your intial Variable, and create a dummy IntegerVariable and RealVariable.

Int=Your Origional
IntTemp=New
RealTemp=New

Set IntTemp = (Int / 2)
Set RealTemp = (Real((Int / 2)))
If (RealTemp Equal to (Real(IntTemp))) then do (-------- Even --------) else do (-------- Odd --------)

What this does is simple. It takes the Integer (which cannot contain decimals remember) and divides it in half. Then it takes a Real variable of the same thing (which can contain decimals) and divides it in half. Then it compares to the two to see if there is a decimal in it!

Ie:

if Int = 20,
IntTemp = 10 [20/2]
RealTemp = 10 [20/2]

So its a whole number.

But...

if Int = 23
IntTemp = 12
RealTemp = 11.5

So IntTemp does NOT equal RealTemp.

Thing that'd work? You might want to create a seperate function and call upon it when you need to using blank variables, its better than typing it out by hand anyway.

Peace.

hmm i might try this out later.

Integer Comparission

Math - Modulo

If Modulo(wichinteger, 2) = 0 then it is even.

 

[KermEd]

ahh yes do it phyrex1an's way muuuch easier i never thought of doing it that way heh...

<-- (not so bright)

 

[daadslfk]

its if integer Modulus Division (Mod) = 0 then
its even theres no such thing as modulo.

 

[DDRtists]

its if integer Modulus Division (Mod) = 0 then
its even theres no such thing as modulo.

...What a unneeded post but ya i will try that too, thx

ok i dont understand that

Modulo is like division but instead of how many times X goes into Y its the remainder X and Y. 2 mod 5 is 1, 2/5 is 4

 

[Duwenbasden]

Modulo returns the remainder of a division. clear enough?

thankz
Hey atleast i cared to look for the odd thread instead of makeing a new one and flooding all the pages with my threads

 

[Rad]

Good point, next time just ask me

ok thx
i am tring to set a good example for people who all ways post new threads that have all ready been posted

 

[Persen]

I think i will add this to my mod... thanks for the idea.

when will this so called "mod" be done?

 

[Rad]

Whenever he stops working on it

You dont really need to add it but you probrably should just for clarity

 

[emjlr3]

checking if even or odd, isn't that just like a 50/50 chance, so just pick a random number between 1-2, if 1(odd) do sometihng, if 2(even) do something else

 

[The_Prophet]

Well in my case, i was using a counter to count out how many times the creeps were spawned and so every other spawn wave(which is where the even/odd question came about)a captain would spawn and then when the spawn counter equaled 7 then it created a super captain.
