      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.

                  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?

                                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.

                                No...only positive integers. Since this is JS, some jerk could pass a float in and get your recursive function to march off the negative end of the numbers.

                                  Hmmm, you are right. The the improved improved version.

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

                                  Now it does negatives too ;P EDIT: because I get serious reactions on this code The code above is how NOT to do it - it's satire.

                                    They've missed a whole set of entries for those that speak British style English. American: Thirty-Two Thousand One Hundred Twelve British: Thirty-Two Thousand One Hundred And Twelve I'd better get editing...

                                    The AND denotes the decimal or fractional portion of the number. So Brits in the example above, Twelve whats?

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

                                      And now this line of code is used: IsEven (4.2); It'll bounce around 0 until the heat death of the universe.

                                        Why are all the 'else's there? Do they improve code generation?

                                          Not in British English (or just "English", as it's known). :) "One hundred and twelve" === 112, not 100.12.
