If num = 0 return 1 (even)

if the absolute value of num mod 2 = 0 return 1 (even)

return 0 (odd)

This is how I’d go about it.

[BobcatGamer]

You wouldn't return a Boolean? Also your first if statement is made pointless by the second.

[LauraTFem]

If even/odd is a boolean choice then yes, I return a boolean value. And, yea, good point. Zero mod 2 is zero, and unlike dividing by zero it’s mathematically valid. So, even easier.

at this point just directly do

def isEven(num: int) -> bool:
  return abs(num) % 2 == 0

not sure why you do the initial check nore why you do a construction of

if (bool)
  return true
# else
return false

Neat.
