[PHP] Is it odd or even???

Re: [PHP] Is it odd or even???
You could divide it by 2, odd numbers will always have a remainder even umbers never will. here are math functions, but none for odd/even that i see.

RE: [PHP] Is it odd or even???
use the modulus operator: ($number % 2) returns 0 if the value is even Larry Jeannette MIS Director, e.Republic -Original Message- From: Brandon Orther [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, March 05, 2001 12:18 PM To: PHP User Group Subject: [PHP] Is it odd or even???

RE: [PHP] Is it odd or even???
That won't work. % returns the remainder from a division of
the number divided by the mod number.
Yours:
if($num %2 == 0){
echo "even";
}else{
echo "odd";
}
Mine:
if( $num % 2 ) {
echo "Odd";
} else {
echo "Even";
}
Ours are identical, just the other way around. This:
if( $num % 2 ) {
means if the result of that operation is anything other than
0 (zero), which is a truth in PHP.

RE: [PHP] Is it odd or even???
Color me confused because I though true was any non zero value and false was
zero.
I know I am using the following code:
if (!($num % 4){ do something}
and it does something when $num is evenly divisible by 4 (ie. $num % 4 = 0).
If I were testing for odd vs even I'd do the following:
if (!($num % 2) {
Odd
} else {
Even
}

You all are a bunch of un-optimizing novices. Just do some bit banging.
i.e.
if(1 number){
echo "$number is odd";
}else{
echo "$number is even";
}

Right. And
if( $num % 2 ) {
echo "it's odd";
}
means that the operation returned a remainder - a non zero value.
I know I am using the following code:
if (!($num % 4){ do something}
and it does something when $num is evenly divisible by 4 (ie.
$num % 4 = 0).
If I were testing for odd vs even I'd do the following:
if (!($num % 2) {
Odd
And this is:
If( NOT ZERO ) {
Odd
}
which is the same as:
if( $num % 2 ) {
If there is a remainder, it's not zero.

Re: [PHP] Is it odd or even??? Optimize!!!
Clever. For those of us unfamiliar with bitwise ops, here's how this works:
The bitwise and op () works on bits like this:
dig1 dig2 Result
000
010
100
111
An even number's binary representation always ends with 0 (ie 12 = 1100)
while an odd ends with 1 (ie 13 = 1101).
So doing a bitwise with 1 will only produce 1 if the last binary digit is
1 (ie an odd num), otherwise 0 (see table).
And, like Nathan implies, this will be very fast (way faster than modulus),
since you only ever deal with 2 bits of info.
For an explanation of other bitwise operators, look here:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/nutsandbolts/bitwise.html
