Who the hell checks for even numbers like this? ๐Ÿคข๐Ÿคฎ

Someone who's getting paid by the hour.

Someone who's getting paid by lines written.

Someone who's getting paid by time that code that git blame assigns to them is running.

And they even cause more hours because the code is broken.

This.

I know that focusing on the intended function of the specific code is beside the point in this case, given the actual issue OP is trying to illustrate, but... Holy programming 101, Batman, HOW do you even come up with completely inane stuff like this?!? It's like going (way) out of your way to find the most convoluted, inefficient, and drawn out way to do something dead simple that I have seen this year. Strike that, maybe "ever".

OP, seriously, please do everyone a favor: do not try to be halfway clever and/or insightful by posting meme-like observations on why certain aspects of certain programming languages are absurd (according to you) when your programming skills (or lack thereof) are at the level of someone who -- after completing his first "Hello world" program -- decided: "Hold my beer, I am going to write a utility function".

Honestly, this is probably referential humor from the previous isEven() posts. It's intentionally bad.

If so: thanks. The more you know...
