Even or odd

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.

8th[edit]

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 ;

ABAP[edit]

).

Output:

ALGOL 68[edit]

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 W[edit]

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[edit]

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

APL[edit]

The easiest way is probably to use modulo.

AppleScript[edit]

set nList to {3, 2, 1, 0, -1, -2, -3}
repeat with n in nList
    if (n / 2) = n / 2 as integer 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 etc (deriving even from mod, and odd from even):

-- even :: Integral a => a -> Bool
on even(n)
    n mod 2 = 0
end even
 
-- odd :: Integral a => a -> Bool
on odd(n)
    not even(n)
end odd
 
 
-- GENERIC FUNCTIONS FOR TEST ----------------------------------
 
-- filter :: (a -> Bool) -> [a] -> [a]
on filter(f, xs)
    tell mReturn(f)
        set lst to {}
        set lng to length of xs
        repeat with i from 1 to lng
            set v to item i of xs
            if lambda(v, i, xs) then set end of lst to v
        end repeat
        return lst
    end tell
end filter
 
-- Lift 2nd class handler function into 1st class script wrapper 
-- mReturn :: Handler -> Script
on mReturn(f)
    if class of f is script then
        f
    else
        script
            property lambda : f
        end script
    end if
end mReturn
 
 
-- TEST ---------------------------------------------------------
on run
    set xs to [-6, -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
 
    {filter(even, xs), filter(odd, xs)}
end run

Output:

{{-6, -4, -2, 0, 2, 4, 6}, {-5, -3, -1, 1, 3, 5}}

Arendelle[edit]

( input , "Please enter a number: " )

{ @input % 2 = 0 ,

	"| @input | is even!"
,
	"| @input | is odd!"
}

AutoHotkey[edit]

Bitwise ops are probably most efficient:

if ( int & 1 ){
	; do odd stuff
}else{
	; do even stuff
}

AWK[edit]

function isodd(x) {
	return (x%2)!=0;

BBC BASIC[edit]

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[edit]

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
"

Bracmat[edit]

Not the simplest solution, but the cheapest if the number that must be tested has thousands of digits.

( ( even
  =
    . @( !arg
       :   ?
           [-2
           ( 0
           | 2
           | 4
           | 6
           | 8
           )
       )
  )
& (odd=.~(even$!arg))
& ( eventest
  =
    .   out
      $ (!arg is (even$!arg&|not) even)
  )
& ( oddtest
  =
    .   out
      $ (!arg is (odd$!arg&|not) odd)
  )
& eventest$5556
& oddtest$5556
& eventest$857234098750432987502398457089435
& oddtest$857234098750432987502398457089435
)

Output:

5556 is even
5556 is not odd
857234098750432987502398457089435 is not even
857234098750432987502398457089435 is odd

Brainf***[edit]

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[edit]

Test by bitwise and'ing 1, works for any builtin integer type as long as it's 2's compliment (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++[edit]

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);
}

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).

Fish[edit]

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.

Forth[edit]

: odd? ( n -- ? ) 1 and ;

Fortran[edit]

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.

Groovy[edit]

Solution:

def isOdd = { int i -> (i & 1) as boolean }
def isEven = {int i -> ! isOdd(i) }

Test:

1.step(20, 2) { assert isOdd(it) }
 
50.step(-50, -2) { assert isEven(it) }

Haskell[edit]

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

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

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:

[True,False,True,False,True,False,True,False,True,False]

Icon and Unicon[edit]

J[edit]

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:

   {:"1@#: 2 3 5 7
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[edit]

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[edit]

ES5[edit]

Bitwise:

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

Modulo:

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

ES6[edit]

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[edit]

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;

Built-in functions:

        when {
             n == 0      -> return
             n % 2 == 0  -> println("Your number is even")

NESL[edit]

NESL provides evenp and oddp functions, but they wouldn't be hard to reimplement.

function even(n) = mod(n, 2) == 0;
 
% test the function by applying it to the first ten positive integers: %
{even(n) : n in [1:11]};

Output:

it = [F, T, F, T, F, T, F, T, F, T] : [bool]

OCaml[edit]

Modulo:

let is_even d =
  (d mod 2) = 0
 
let is_odd d =
  (d mod 2) <> 0

Bitwise and:

let is_even d =
  (d land 1) = 0
 
let is_odd d =
  (d land 1) <> 0

An instructive view on functional programming and recursion:

(* hmm, only valid for N0 *)
let rec myeven = function 
  | 0 -> true
  | 1 -> false
  | n -> myeven (n - 2)
 
(* and here we have the not function in if form *)
let myodd n = if myeven n then false else true

}

PARI/GP[edit]

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[edit]

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;

Perl[edit]

for(0..10){
    print "$_ is ", qw(even odd)[$_ % 2],"\n";
}

or

print 6 % 2  ? 'odd' : 'even';   # prints even

Perl 6[edit]

Perl 6 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 )

Phix[edit]

and_bits(i,1) returns 1(true) for odd integers and 0(false) for even integers. remainder(i,2) could also validly be used, however "true" for odd numbers is actually 1 for positive odd integers and -1 for negative odd integers.

for i = -5 to 5 do
    ? {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}
{2,0,0}
{3,1,1}
{4,0,0}
{5,1,1}

PHP[edit]

 
// using bitwise and to check least significant digit
echo (2 & 1) ? 'odd' : 'even';
echo (3 & 1) ? 'odd' : 'even';
 
// using modulo
echo (3 % 2) ? 'odd' : 'even';
echo (4 % 2) ? 'odd' : 'even';

Output:

even
odd
odd
even

PicoLisp[edit]

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[edit]

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

PL/I[edit]

i = iand(i,1)

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

PowerShell[edit]

Works with: PowerShell version 2

Predicate[edit]

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[edit]

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

Remainder[edit]

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

Prolog[edit]

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[edit]

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[edit]

;use last bit method
isOdd = i & 1         ;isOdd is non-zero if i is odd
isEven = i & 1 ! 1    ;isEven is non-zero if i is even
 
;use modular method
isOdd = i % 2         ;isOdd is non-zero if i is odd
isEven = i % 2 ! 1    ;isEven is non-zero if i is even

Python[edit]

Python: Using the least-significant bit method[edit]

>>> def is_odd(i): return bool(i & 1)
 
>>> def is_even(i): return not is_odd(i)
 
>>> [(j, is_odd(j)) for j in range(10)]
[(0, False), (1, True), (2, False), (3, True), (4, False), (5, True), (6, False), (7, True), (8, False), (9, True)]
>>> [(j, is_even(j)) for j in range(10)]
[(0, True), (1, False), (2, True), (3, False), (4, True), (5, False), (6, True), (7, False), (8, True), (9, False)]
>>>

>> def is_even(i):
        return (i % 2) == 0
 
>>> is_even(1)
False
>>> is_even(2)
True
>>>

R[edit]

is.even <- function(x) !is.odd(x)
 
is.odd <- function(x) intToBits(x)[1] == 1
#or
is.odd <- function(x) x %% 2 == 1

Racket[edit]

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))

Rascal[edit]

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[edit]

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).

even? and odd? functions are built-in (R⁴RS, R⁵RS, and R⁶RS):

> (even? 5)
#f
> (even? 42)
#t
> (odd? 5)
#t
> (odd? 42)
#f

Seed7[edit]

Test whether an integer or bigInteger is odd:

odd(aNumber)

Test whether an integer or bigInteger is even:

not odd(aNumber)

SequenceL[edit]

even(x) := x mod 2 = 0;
odd(x) := x mod 2 = 1;

Output:

cmd:>even(1 ... 10)
[false,true,false,true,false,true,false,true,false,true]
cmd:>odd(1 ... 10)
[true,false,true,false,true,false,true,false,true,false]

SETL[edit]

SETL provides built-in even and odd functions. This short program illustrates their use.

xs := {1..10};
evens := {x in xs | even( x )};
odds := {x in xs | odd( x )};
print( evens );
print( odds );

Output:

{2 4 6 8 10}
{1 3 5 7 9}

Shen[edit]

Mutual Recursion:

(define even?
    0 -> true
    X -> (odd? (- X 1)))
 
(define odd?
    0 -> false
    X -> (even? (- X 1)))

Modulo:

(define even? X -> (= 0 (shen.mod X 2)))
 
(define odd? X -> (not (= 0 (shen.mod X 2))))

Sidef[edit]

Built-in methods:

var n = 42;
say n.is_odd;       # false
say n.is_even;      # true

Checking the last significant digit:

func is_odd(n)  { n&1 == 1 };
func is_even(n) { n&1 == 0 };

Using modular congruences:

func is_odd(n)  { n%2 == 1 };
func is_even(n) { n%2 == 0 };

Smalltalk[edit]

Using the built in methods on Number class:

5 even
5 odd

even is implemented as follows:

Number>>even
	^((self digitAt: 1) bitAnd: 1) = 0

SNOBOL4[edit]

Works with: Macro SNOBOL4 in C

Works with: Spitbol

Works with: SNOBOL4+

      DEFINE('even(n)')                         :(even_end)
even  even = (EQ(REMDR(n, 2), 0) 'even', 'odd') :(RETURN)
even_end
 
      OUTPUT = "-2 is " even(-2)
      OUTPUT = "-1 is " even(-1)
      OUTPUT = "0 is " even(0)
      OUTPUT = "1 is " even(1)
      OUTPUT = "2 is " even(2)
END

Output:

-2 is even

-1 is odd 0 is even 1 is odd 2 is even

SQL[edit]

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;

Output:

       INT CASE
---------- ----
        -1 Odd
         0 Even
         1 Odd
         2 Even

SSEM[edit]

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.

XLISP[edit]

XLISP provides EVENP and ODDP, or, if you prefer, EVEN? and ODD?; if one wanted to reimplement them, it could be done like this (or in other ways).

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

XPL0[edit]

        Text(0, if rem(I/2)#0 then "odd" else "even");
        CrLf(0);

zkl[edit]

[-3..4].pump(fcn(n){ println(n," is ",n.isEven and "even" or "odd") })

Ints have isEven and isOdd properties. pump, in this case, is the same as apply/map without aggregating a result.

Output:

-3 is odd
-2 is even
-1 is odd
0 is even
1 is odd
2 is even
3 is odd
4 is even

[-3..4].apply("isEven").println();

Output:
