Programming humor on reddit used to be excellent bits like this but then it devolved into new learners jumping straight to the irony they didn’t understand and flooded the sub with nonsense.

I miss these bits.

btw it does get easier

import math
def is_even(num):
    if num in [i for i in range(1000) if float(i)/2.0 == math.floor(float(i)/2.0)]:
        print("true")
    else:
        print("false")

Obviously one would need to increase the range for bigger numbers but this code is optimized.

Of course there’s an easier way. Just integrate the state of the art API dedicated for this exact problem. https://isevenapi.xyz/

My solution in perl back in the day when I was a teenage hobbyist who didn’t know about the modulus operator: Divide by 2 and use regex to check for a decimal point.

if ($num / 2 =~ /\./) { return “odd” }
else { return “even” }

You could do this in one line…

By removing all the linebreaks.
