Even or odd

Even or odd
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.

Task

Test whether an integer is even or odd.

There is more than one way to solve this task:

• Use the even and odd predicates, if the language provides them.
• Check the least significant digit. With binary integers, i bitwise-and 1 equals 0 iff i is even, or equals 1 iff i is odd.
• Divide i by 2. The remainder equals 0 iff i is even. The remainder equals +1 or -1 iff i is odd.
• Use modular congruences:
  • i ≡ 0 (mod 2) iff i is even.
  • i ≡ 1 (mod 2) iff i is odd.

8080 Assembly

The instruction that's doing all the work here is rar, which is a bitwise right rotate of the accumulator through the carry flag. That leaves the low bit in the carry flag, which will be set if odd and clear if even.

CMDLIN:	equ	80h		; Location of CP/M command line argument
puts:	equ	9h		; Syscall to print a string
	;;;	Check if number given on command line is even or odd
	org	100h
	lxi	h,CMDLIN	; Find length of argument
	mov	a,m		
	add	l		; Look up last character (digit)
	mov	l,a
	mov	a,m		; Retrieve low digit
	rar			; Rotate low bit into carry flag
	mvi	c,puts		; Prepare to print string
	lxi	d,odd		; If carry is set, then the number is odd
	jc	5		; So print 'odd'
	lxi	d,even		; Otherwise, the number is even
	jmp 	5		; So print 'even'
even:	db	'Even$'		; Strings
odd:	db	'Odd$'

Output:

A>evenodd 1

A>evenodd 2

A>evenodd 3141592653

The 'mod' method also works, but the bit method is fastest.

: odd? \ n -- boolean
    dup 1 n:band 1 n:= ;
: even? \ n -- boolean 
    odd? not ;

This could be shortened to:

 
: even? \ n -- f
  1 n:band not ;
: odd? \ n -- f
  even? not ;

ALGOL 68

Works with: ALGOL 68G version Any - tested with release 2.8.win32

# Algol 68 has a standard operator: ODD which returns TRUE if its integer  #
# operand is odd and FALSE if it is even                                   #
# E.g.:                                                                    #
 
INT n;
print( ( "Enter an integer: " ) );
read( ( n ) );
print( ( whole( n, 0 ), " is ", IF ODD n THEN "odd" ELSE "even" FI, newline ) )
 

ALGOL-M

Because ALGOL-M lacks a built-in MOD operator or function and does not support bitwise operations on integers, the test is a bit cumbersome, but gets the job done.

 
BEGIN
 
% RETURN 1 IF EVEN, OTHERWISE 0 %
INTEGER FUNCTION EVEN(I);
INTEGER I;
BEGIN
  EVEN := 1 - (I - 2 * (I / 2));
END;
 
% TEST THE ROUTINE %
INTEGER K;
FOR K := 1 STEP 3 UNTIL 10 DO
  WRITE(K," IS ", IF EVEN(K) = 1 THEN "EVEN" ELSE "ODD");
 
END

Output:

    1 IS ODD
    4 IS EVEN
    7 IS ODD
   10 IS EVEN

An alternate (but mathematically equivalent) coding, demonstrating the use of a conditional test as part of an assignment statement:

 
% RETURN 1 IF EVEN, OTHERWISE 0 %
INTEGER FUNCTION EVEN(I);
INTEGER I;
BEGIN
  EVEN := (IF I = 2 * (I / 2) THEN 1 ELSE 0);
END;
 

ALGOL W

begin
    % the Algol W standard procedure odd returns true if its integer  %
    % parameter is odd, false if it is even                           %
    for i := 1, 1702, 23, -26
    do begin
        write( i, " is ", if odd( i ) then "odd" else "even" )
    end for_i
end.

Output:

             1   is odd
          1702   is even
            23   is odd
           -26   is even

AntLang

odd: {x mod 2}
even: {1 - x mod 2}

APL

The easiest way is probably to use modulo.

      2|28
0
      2|37
1

So you can write a user-defined operator.

     odd ← 2∘|

AppleScript

set nList to {3, 2, 1, 0, -1, -2, -3}
repeat with n in nList
    if (n / 2) = n / 2 as integer then -- Or more simply: if (n mod 2 is 0) then
        log "Value " & n & " is even."
    else
        log "Value " & n & " is odd."
    end if
end repeat

Output:

(*Value 3 is odd.*)
(*Value 2 is even.*)
(*Value 1 is odd.*)
(*Value 0 is even.*)
(*Value -1 is odd.*)
(*Value -2 is even.*)
(*Value -3 is odd.*)

Or, packaging reusable functions that can serve as arguments to filter, partition etc (deriving even from mod, and odd from even):

----------------------- EVEN OR ODD ------------------------
 
-- even :: Int -> Bool
on even(n)
    0 = n mod 2
end even
 
-- odd :: Int -> Bool
on odd(n)
    not even(n)
end odd

BBC BASIC

Works with: BBC BASIC for Windows

Solutions using AND or MOD are restricted to 32-bit integers, so an alternative solution is given which works with a larger range of values.

      IF FNisodd%(14) PRINT "14 is odd" ELSE PRINT "14 is even"
      IF FNisodd%(15) PRINT "15 is odd" ELSE PRINT "15 is even"
      IF FNisodd#(9876543210#) PRINT "9876543210 is odd" ELSE PRINT "9876543210 is even"
      IF FNisodd#(9876543211#) PRINT "9876543211 is odd" ELSE PRINT "9876543211 is even"
      END
 
      REM Works for -2^31 <= n% < 2^31
      DEF FNisodd%(n%) = (n% AND 1) <> 0
 
      REM Works for -2^53 <= n# <= 2^53
      DEF FNisodd#(n#) = n# <> 2 * INT(n# / 2)

Output:

14 is even
15 is odd
9876543210 is even
9876543211 is odd

bc

There are no bitwise operations, so this solution compares a remainder with zero. Calculation of i % 2 only works when scale = 0.

i = -3
 
/* Assumes that i is an integer. */
scale = 0
if (i % 2 == 0) "i is even
"
if (i % 2) "i is odd
"

Befunge

&2%52**"E"+,@

Outputs E if even, O if odd.

857234098750432987502398457089435 is not even
857234098750432987502398457089435 is odd

Brainf***

Assumes that input characters are an ASCII representation of a valid integer. Output is input mod 2.

,[>,----------] Read until newline
++<             Get a 2 and move into position
[->-[>+>>]>     Do
[+[-<+>]>+>>]   divmod
<<<<<]          magic
>[-]<++++++++   Clear and get an 8
[>++++++<-]     to get a 48
>[>+<-]>.       to get n % 2 to ASCII and print

If one need only determine rather than act on the parity of the input, the following is sufficient; it terminates either quickly or never.

C

Test by bitwise and'ing 1, works for any builtin integer type as long as it's 2's complement (it's always so nowadays):

if (x & 1) {
    /* x is odd */
} else {
    /* or not */
}

If using long integer type from GMP (mpz_t), there are provided macros:

mpz_t x;
...
if (mpz_even_p(x)) { /* x is even */ }
if (mpz_odd_p(x))  { /* x is odd */ }

The macros evaluate x more than once, so it should not be something with side effects.

C++

Test using the modulo operator, or use the C example from above.

bool isOdd(int x) 
{
    return x % 2;
}
 
bool isEven(int x)
{
    return !(x % 2);
}

A slightly more type-generic version, for C++11 and later. This should theoretically work for any type convertible to int:

 
template < typename T > 
constexpr inline bool isEven( const T& v )
{
    return isEven( int( v ) );
}
 
template <> 
constexpr inline bool isEven< int >( const int& v )
{
    return (v & 1) == 0;
}
 
template < typename T > 
constexpr inline bool isOdd( const T& v )
{
    return !isEven(v);
}

EDSAC order code

This implementation uses the C (logical AND multiplier register with memory) order. It will cause the machine to print an E if the number stored at address θ+15 is even, or an O if it is odd. As an example, we shall test the number 37 (P18D in EDSAC encoding).

This example assumes that the input command i returns an integer when one was inputted and that the user inputs a valid positive integer terminated by a newline.

<v"Please enter a number:"a
 >l0)?!vo     v          <                        v    o<
^      >i:a=?v>i:a=?v$a*+^>"The number is even."ar>l0=?!^>
             >      >2%0=?^"The number is odd."ar ^

The actual computation is the 2%0= part. The rest is either user interface or parsing input.

Fortran

Please find the compilation and example run in the comments at the beginning of the FORTRAN 2008 source. Separating the bit 0 parity module from the main program enables reuse of the even and odd functions. Even and odd, with scalar and vector interfaces demonstrate the generic function capability of FORTRAN 90. Threading, stdin, and all-intrinsics are vestigial and have no influence here other than to confuse you.

def isEven = {int i -> ! isOdd(i) }

Test:

50.step(-50, -2) { assert isEven(it) }

Haskell

even and odd functions are already included in the standard Prelude.

Prelude> even 5
False
Prelude> even 42
True
Prelude> odd 5
True

Where even is derived from rem, and odd is derived from even:

import Prelude hiding (even, odd)
 
even, odd
  :: (Integral a)
  => a -> Bool
even = (0 ==) . (`rem` 2)
 
odd = not . even
 
main :: IO ()
main = print (even <$> [0 .. 9])

Output:

Icon and Unicon

One way is to check the remainder:

procedure isEven(n)
    return n%2 = 0
end

J

Modulo:

   2 | 2 3 5 7
0 1 1 1
   2|2 3 5 7 + (2^89x)-1
1 0 0 0

Remainder:

   (= <.&.-:) 2 3 5 7
1 0 0 0
   (= <.&.-:) 2 3 5 7+(2^89x)-1
0 1 1 1

Last bit in bit representation:

0 1 1 1
   {:"1@#: 2 3 5 7+(2^89x)-1
1 0 0 0

Bitwise and:

   1 (17 b.) 2 3 5 7
0 1 1 1

Note: as a general rule, the simplest expressions in J should be preferred over more complex approaches.

Java

Bitwise and:

public static boolean isEven(int i){
    return (i & 1) == 0;
}

Modulo:

public static boolean isEven(int i){
    return (i % 2) == 0;
}

Arbitrary precision bitwise:

public static boolean isEven(BigInteger i){
    return i.and(BigInteger.ONE).equals(BigInteger.ZERO);
}

Arbitrary precision bit test (even works for negative numbers because of the way BigInteger represents the bits of numbers):

public static boolean isEven(BigInteger i){
    return !i.testBit(0);
}

Arbitrary precision modulo:

public static boolean isEven(BigInteger i){
    return i.mod(BigInteger.valueOf(2)).equals(BigInteger.ZERO);
}

JavaScript

ES5

Bitwise:

function isEven( i ) {
  return (i & 1) === 0;
}
 

Modulo:

function isEven( i ) {
  return i % 2 === 0;
}
 
// Alternative
function isEven( i ) {
  return !(i % 2);
}

ES6

Lambda:

// EMCAScript 6
const isEven = x => !(x % 2)

or, avoiding type coercion:

(() => {
    'use strict';
 
    // even : Integral a => a -> Bool
    const even = x => (x % 2) === 0;
 
    // odd : Integral a => a -> Bool
    const odd = x => !even(x);
 
 
    // TEST ----------------------------------------
    // range :: Int -> Int -> [Int]
    const range = (m, n) =>
        Array.from({
            length: Math.floor(n - m) + 1
        }, (_, i) => m + i);
 
    // show :: a -> String
    const show = JSON.stringify;
 
    // xs :: [Int]
    const xs = range(-6, 6);
 
    return show([xs.filter(even), xs.filter(odd)]);
})();

Output:

[[-6,-4,-2,0,2,4,6],[-5,-3,-1,1,3,5]]

jq

In practice, to test whether an integer, i, is even or odd in jq, one would typically use: i % 2

For example, if it were necessary to have a strictly boolean function that would test if its input is an even integer, one could define:

def is_even: type == "number" and floor == 0 and . % 2 == 0;

The check that the floor is 0 is necessary as % is defined on floating point numbers.

"is_odd" could be similarly defined:

def is_odd: type == "number" and floor == 0 and . % 2 == 1;

M2000 Interpreter

Binary.Add take any numeric type, but value must be in range of 0 to 0xFFFFFFFF So Mod if a perfect choice, using it with Decimals (character @ indicate a Decimal type or literal). Variable a take the type of input. There is no reason here to write it as def Odd(a as decimal)= binary.and(Abs(a), 1)=1

Def used to define variables (an error occur if same variable exist), or to define one line local functions. If a function exist then replace code. This is the same for modules/functions, a newer definition alter an old definition with same name, in current module if they are local, or global if they defined as global, like this Function Global F(x) { code block here}.

A function F(x) {} is same as

Function F {
      Read x
      code here
}

The same hold for Def Odd(a)=binary.and(Abs(a), 1)=1 Interpreter execute this:

Function Odd {
      Read a
      =binary.and(Abs(a), 1)=1
}

So here is the task. Show an overflow from a decimal, then change function.

 
Module CheckOdd {
      Def Odd(a)= binary.and(Abs(a), 1)=1
      Print Odd(-5), Odd(6), Odd(11)
      Try {

      }
      Print Error$    ' overflow
 
      def Odd(a)= Int(Abs(a)) mod 2 =1
      Print Odd([email protected])
      Print Odd(-5), Odd(6), Odd(11)
}

Actually, 'even?' and 'odd?' functions are built-in. But,

 
; 1. Check the least significant bit.
(define (even? i)
   (if (eq? (band i 1) 0) #t #f))
(define (odd? i)
   (if (eq? (band i 1) 1) #t #f))
 
(print (if (even? 12345678987654321) "even" "odd")) ; ==> odd
(print (if (odd? 12345678987654321) "odd" "even"))  ; ==> odd
(print (if (even? 1234567898765432) "even" "odd"))  ; ==> even
(print (if (odd? 1234567898765432) "odd" "even"))   ; ==> even
 
; 2. Divide i by 2. The remainder equals 0 iff i is even.
(define (even? i)
   (if (eq? (remainder i 2) 0) #t #f))
(define (odd? i)
   (if (eq? (remainder i 2) 1) #t #f))
 
(print (if (even? 12345678987654321) "even" "odd")) ; ==> odd
(print (if (odd? 12345678987654321) "odd" "even"))  ; ==> odd
(print (if (even? 1234567898765432) "even" "odd"))  ; ==> even
(print (if (odd? 1234567898765432) "odd" "even"))   ; ==> even
 
; 3. Use modular congruences. Same as 2.
(define (even? i)
   (if (eq? (mod i 2) 0) #t #f))
(define (odd? i)
   (if (eq? (mod i 2) 1) #t #f))

PARI/GP

GP does not have a built-in predicate for testing parity, but it's easy to code:

odd(n)=n%2;

Alternately:

odd(n)=bitand(n,1);

PARI can use the same method as C for testing individual words. For multiprecision integers (t_INT), use mpodd. If the number is known to be nonzero, mod2 is (insignificantly) faster.

Pascal

Built-in boolean function odd:

isOdd := odd(someIntegerNumber);

bitwise and:

function isOdd(Number: integer): boolean
begin
  isOdd := boolean(Number and 1)
end;

Dividing and multiplying by 2 and test on equality:

function isEven(Number: integer): boolean
begin
  isEven := (Number = ((Number div 2) * 2))
end;

Using built-in modulo

function isOdd(Number: integer): boolean
begin
  isOdd := boolean(Number mod 2)
end;

    print "$_ is ", qw(even odd)[$_ % 2],"\n";

    ? {i, and_bits(i,1), remainder(i,2)}
end for

Output:

{-5,1,-1}
{-4,0,0}
{-3,1,-1}
{-2,0,0}
{-1,1,-1}
{0,0,0}
{1,1,1}

PicoLisp

PicoLisp doesn't have a built-in predicate for that. Using 'bit?' is the easiest and most efficient. The bit test with 1 will return NIL if the number is even.

: (bit? 1 3)
-> 1  # Odd
 
: (bit? 1 4)
-> NIL  # Even

Pike

> int i = 73;
> (i&1);
Result: 1
> i%2;
Result: 1

PL/I

i = iand(i,1)

The result is 1 when i is odd, and 0 when i is even.

Plain English

The noodle comes with even and odd deciders.

To run:
Start up.
If 56 is even, write "56 is even!" to the console.
If 4 is odd, write "4 is odd!" to the console.
Wait for the escape key.
Shut down.

Output:

56 is even!

PowerShell

Works with: PowerShell version 2

Predicate

A predicate can be used with BigInteger objects. Even/odd predicates to not exist for basic value types. Type accelerator [bigint] can be used in place of [System.Numerics.BigInteger].

 
$IsOdd  = -not ( [bigint]$N ).IsEven
$IsEven =      ( [bigint]$N ).IsEven
 

Least significant digit

 
$IsOdd  = [boolean]( $N -band 1 )
$IsEven = [boolean]( $N -band 0 )
 

Remainder

Despite being known as a modulus operator, the % operator in PowerShell actually returns a remainder. As such, when testing negative numbers it returns the true modulus result minus M. In this specific case, it returns -1 for odd negative numbers. Thus we test for not zero for odd numbers.

 
$IsOdd  = $N % 2 -ne 0
$IsEven = $N % 2 -eq 0
 

Processing

 
boolean isEven(int i){
  return i%2 == 0;
}
 
boolean isOdd(int i){
  return i%2 == 1;
}
 

Prolog

Prolog does not provide special even or odd predicates as one can simply write "0 is N mod 2" to test whether the integer N is even. To illustrate, here is a predicate that can be used both to test whether an integer is even and to generate the non-negative even numbers:

 
  even(N) :-
     (between(0, inf, N); integer(N) ),
     0 is N mod 2.
 

Least Significant Bit

If N is a positive integer, then lsb(N) is the offset of its least significant bit, so we could write:

 
  odd(N) :- N = 0 -> false; 0 is lsb(abs(N)).
 

PureBasic

Racket

With built in predicates:

(even? 6) ; -> true
(even? 5) ; -> false
(odd? 6) ; -> false
(odd? 5) ; -> true 

With modular arithmetic:

(define (my-even? x)
  (= (modulo x 2) 0)) 
 
(define (my-odd? x)
  (= (modulo x 2) 1))

Raku

(formerly Perl 6) Raku doesn't have a built-in for this, but with subsets it's easy to define a predicate for it.

subset Even of Int where * %% 2;
subset Odd of Int where * % 2;
 
say 1 ~~ Even; # false
say 1 ~~ Odd;  # true
say 1.5 ~~ Odd # false ( 1.5 is not an Int )

Rascal

public bool isEven(int n) = (n % 2) == 0;
public bool isOdd(int n) = (n % 2) == 1;

Or with block quotes:

public bool isEven(int n){return (n % 2) == 0;}
public bool isOdd(int n){return (n % 2) == 1;}

REXX

Programming note:   division by   1   (one)   in REXX is a way to normalize a number:

• by removing a superfluous leading   +   sign
• by removing superfluous leading zeroes
• by removing superfluous trailing zeroes
• by removing a trailing decimal point
• possible converting an exponentiated number
• possible rounding the number to the current digits

Programming note:   the last method is the fastest method in REXX to determine oddness/evenness.
It requires a sparse stemmed array     !.     be defined in the program's prologue (or elsewhere).
This method gets its speed from   not   using any BIF and   not   performing any (remainder) division.

Some notes on programming styles:   If (execution) speed isn't an issue, then the 1^st test method
shown would be the simplest   (in terms of coding the concisest/tightest/smallest code).   The other test
methods differ mostly in programming techniques, mostly depending on the REXX programmer's style.  
The last method shown is the fastest algorithm, albeit it might be a bit obtuse (without comments) to a
novice reader of the REXX language   (and it requires additional REXX statement baggage).

Checking the last significant digit:

let is_odd = |x: i32| x & 1 == 1;
let is_even = |x: i32| x & 1 == 0;

Using modular congruences:

let is_odd = |x: i32| x % 2 != 0;
let is_even = |x: i32| x % 2 == 0;

S-BASIC

S-BASIC lacks a MOD operator but supports bitwise operations on integer variables, so that is the approach taken.

 
rem - return true (-1) if even, otherwise false (0)
function even(i = integer) = integer
var one = integer    rem - both operands must be variables 
one = 1
end = ((i and one) = 0)
 
rem - exercise the function
var i = integer
for i = 1 to 10 step 3
   print i; " is ";
   if even(i) then
     print "even"
   else
     print "odd"
next
 
end

Output:

 1 is odd
 4 is even
 7 is odd
 10 is even

SQL

Database vendors can't agree on how to get a remainder. This should work for many, including Oracle. For others, including MS SQL Server, try "int % 2" instead of "mod(int, 2)".

-- Setup a table with some integers
CREATE TABLE ints(INT INTEGER);
INSERT INTO ints VALUES (-1);
INSERT INTO ints VALUES (0);
INSERT INTO ints VALUES (1);
INSERT INTO ints VALUES (2);
 
-- Are they even or odd?
SELECT
  INT,
  CASE MOD(INT, 2) WHEN 0 THEN 'Even' ELSE 'Odd' END
FROM
  ints;

        -1 Odd
         0 Even
         1 Odd
         2 Even

SSEM

The SSEM doesn't provide AND, but for once the instruction set does allow the problem to be solved quite elegantly (albeit extravagantly slowly). Load the value of $n$ into storage address 15. The first three instructions test whether $n$ is positive, and replace it with its negation if it isn't. We then loop, subtracting 2 each time and testing whether we have got down either to 0 or to 1. When we have, the computer will halt with the accumulator storing 0 if $n$ was even or 1 if it was odd.

Note that the constant 2, stored at address 14, does double service: it is the operand for the Sub. instruction at address 6 and also the jump target returning to the top of the main loop (which is at address 2 + 1 = 3).

For larger positive or smaller negative values of $n$, you should be ready with something else to do while the machine is working: a test run took several minutes to confirm that 32,769 was odd.

(defun my-oddp (x)
    (/= (logand x 1) 0) )
