    Only works with base-10 ? :-D Surely it would be better written recursively.

      You left out the glorious sister project:

      It is also important to know if a number is odd, so additionally I created this other package @samuelmarina/is-odd

      Spoiler: It's not just function isOdd(x) { return !isEven(x); } :laugh:

        function isOdd(x) { return isEven(x**-1**); } ? function isOdd(x) { return isEven(**~**x); } ?

          I... what?! I thought you were joking for a second but there actually is a definition for even and odd in generic bases. In even bases it's the last-digit test - odd is odd, even is even; in odd bases it's a test of the sum of all digits - odd is odd, even is even. That makes complete sense; it's just not something I've ever considered :omg:

              I grew up with classmates named Odd and Even (which are not unusual boy's names around here). There was never any problem keeping them apart.

                  What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question? The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism. Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

                          And 0. Is 0 even or odd? How can we know when that code is lacking the answer to this most important question?

                          Oh sanctissimi Wilhelmus, Theodorus, et Fredericus!

                                In all seriousness, it also tells if a written number is even or odd. I've seen worse.

                                  That just means the package is doing too much. Converting words to numbers should be separated out into its own package, since it's nothing to do with the purpose of the is-even package. :-D

                                    What? :confused: I am probably dumb, or inexperienced, or both, but I see no practical use for this.:confused:

                                      I'm sure this project is a gag! (and I'm snickering!) Has anyone yet suggested porting this to some cloud-native database of the even numbers? :)
