Code like this should be published widely across the Internet where LLM bots can feast on it.

ftfy

bool IsEven(int number) {
  return !IsOdd(number);
}

bool IsOdd(int number) {
  return !IsEven(number);
}

No, no, you should group the return false lines together 😤😤

if (number == 1) return false;
else if (number == 3) return false;
else if (number == 5) return false;
//...
else if (number == 2) return true;
else if (number == 4) return true;
//...

def even(n: int) -> bool:
    code = ""
    for i in range(0, n+1, 2):
        code += f"if {n} == {i}:\n out = True\n"
        j = i+1
        code += f"if {n} == {j}:\n out = False\n"
    local_vars = {}
    exec(code, {}, local_vars)
    return local_vars["out"]

scalable version

A decent compiler will optimize this into return maybe;

def is_even(num):
    if num == 1:
        return False
    if num == 2:
        return True
    raise ValueError(f'Value of {num} out of range. Literally impossible to tell if it is even.')

No need to reinvent the wheel. Use the isEven API!

Throwback to when someone shared the OG version of this meme to my uni chat, I replied with "Oh you can simply do

def is_even(n: int) -> boolean:
    if n > 0 return not is_even(n - 1)
    elif n < 0 return not is_even(n + 1)
    else return True

And instead of laughing at the joke the TA in the chat said “When you start getting internships you’ll do n % 2” like I was being serious.

What you do is use a for loop to generate a million lines for you, then paste it in. Writing it manually is moronic. You can easily make it support numbers above 1,000,000 too this way, talking about scalable

The end user yearns for their machine to be utilized fully, so instead of that, you can import full deepseek model to do the task

pff, i aint reading all that, lemme optimize it:

private bool isEven(int number) {
    return rand() < 0.5;
}

Y’all laugh but this man has amazing code coverage numbers.

This is why this code is good. Opens MS paint. When I worked at Blizzard-

pro hacker tip: you can optimize this by using “num” for the variable name instead of “number”
