    42 MEGABYTES OF JAVASCRIPT?! :omg: :wtf: Someone needs their head checked!

    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?

              Well, if you troll, then you might just as well do it right, walking the walk way to the end.

                  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

                        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? :)

                                That can be done better with a recursive function:

                                function IsEven(number) {
                                if (number === 1 return false;
                                elseif (number === 2) return true;
                                else return IsEven(number - 2);
                                }

                                Now it does all positive numbers :laugh: EDIT: because I get serious reactions on this code The code above is how NOT to do it - it's satire.

                                  Points for being clever. Sadly, someone would still use it...

                                    I'm trying to guess what certain CPers would do if they were confronted with this person. JSOP - bullet in the guy's head to put both the guy and everyone else out of their misery. honey the codewitch - After she quit twitching, she'd write a parser to optimize the code. OriginalGriff - figures out how to turn it into a CCC clue Nagy - just wanders off, asking where the gin is. Me - I'd tell him to turn it all into a switch statement.

                                    I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

                                      You know... It's 2021, and the IRONY flows freely in all things... I expected to see a macro (written in JavaScript), that writes the javascript file: for (x..) if x % 1 == 0 write "if (number == " + x +") return false;" else write "if (number == " + x +") return true;" == And to see him asking people to crowd source running that file, to help him out! == Next question... Where is his test harness... Or is he caught in an infinite loop?

                                        If someone really uses it, he or she deserves it ;P

                                          I'd side with JSOP, after I made them delete everything.
