Jan,

Use the "mod" operator (%). For example, a % b gives you the remainder of dividing a by b. If you divide an integer by 2 and the remainder is 0, the number is even. If the remainder is 1, the number is odd. For example:

+ (BOOL) isEven: (int) n {
return n % 2 == 0;
}

+ (BOOL) isOdd: (int) n {
return n % 2 == 1;
}

Hi everybody,

I feel kind of embarrassed to ask this, but I looked for hours and still don't have a solution.

How do you determine whether an integer is odd or even? I tried messing around with the fact that an odd integer divided by 2 would not be able to be an integer again, but my attempts were unsuccesful :\ Any help is welcome!

Thanks,
Jan VB
