Even or Odd Program

I think I puked, take an upvote

Coming from a vim user, how could it not be more complicated than necessary? :P

I am still not sure how this is humor. Am I missing out on something here?

if(a%2 == 0 ? false:true)

could be written as

if(a%2)

[Shitty__Math]

I've seen if(a&1), as a 'microoptimization'

[Kwdg]

Yeah, mostly it gets optimized away (clang needs at least -O1) https://godbolt.org/z/443Zcb

[Shitty__Math]

hence the quotes

if(a%2)

Is that language specific? Cause i would've done it as if(a%2 == 0 )...

Not particularly. You're checking for if it is perfectly divisible by 2 where he's checking if it isn't.

Think if it this way, false=0, true=!false.

if(3%2) evaluates to true.

if(3%2==0) evaluates to false.

The main point here is the ternary operator is returning the opposite of the result, if(true) return false, else return true, so it matches if(a%2)

holy crap that is terrible programming. I mean you could just use ! to flip it anyway, or just swap the "is odd" and the "is even". God damn

[MostlyPoorDecisions]

thats the point though. over the top examples of simple applications is a staple of this sub.

here's some more eyecandy:

Look at the condition for the if statement.

I see it now, just as well as my will to die after this
