That would be isPositive.

Without using the modulo operator you'd essentially have to reimplement it. Divide the number by 2 and round down. Multiply that by 2 and then subtract it from the original number.

isEven(10) results in 10-10==0 (true) whereas isEven(13) results in 13-12==0 (false).

function isEven(n){
  n = Math.abs(n)
  return (n - (Math.floor(n/2) * 2)) == 0
}

Yep! I'm wrong. Pretty embarrassing!

That's a nice solution though! Gonna have to try and remember that one!

Discussion of and questions about Loops should go over in !loops@lemmy.world

If the loop you're posting isn't original content uploaded by the creator, prefix the title with ♻️ or [R] (if you don't feel like typing an emoji) for "reposted". For example, ♻️ Cute dog or [R] Cute dog.

Note that some loopers upload their loops to multiple platforms including Loops, so you might see insta/tiktok logos on videos that aren't marked as reposts.

If you know the source for a loop marked ♻️/[R], please comment with it!

Rules:

  1. Don't be a dick
  2. Don't make me add more rules
