Test for Even / Odd Numbers in Javascript

 / Published in: JavaScript
 

URL: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Core_JavaScript_1.5_Reference/Operators/Arithmetic_Operators

One of those common tools that's easy to forget about is the Modulus operator (%), which returns the remainder of a division operation.

If you divide some number by two, a remainder of 0 indicates an even number, while a remainder of 1 indicates an odd number.

  1. var isEven = function(someNumber){
  2.     return (someNumber%2 == 0) ? true : false;
  3. };
  4.  
  5. alert(isEven(64)); // Alerts "true".
  6.  
  7. alert(isEven(97)); // Alerts "false".

I came across http://rindovincent.blogspot.com/p/javascript.html where there was a simple Javascript program to find whether the number is odd or even. I am pasting the same code with permission here.

var n = prompt("Enter a number to find odd or even", "Type your number here"); n = parseInt(n); if (isNaN(n)) { alert("Please Enter a Number"); } else if (n == 0) { alert("The number is zero"); } else if (n%2) { alert("The number is odd"); } else { alert("The number is even"); }
