what is the syntax for testing whether an integer variable is odd or even?

thanks in advance for any help!

#2

You can use the mod operator to calculate the reminder of a division

on IsOdd(xnumber)
return xnumber mod 2
end IsOdd

This wil return 1 if the xnumber is odd and 0 if it is even

#3

Why not return a boolean:


on IsOdd( n )
	return ( (n mod 2) = 1 )
end

if IsOdd( myNumber ) then...
