how to check if a integer is even or odd ?

[Eps]

I have a for loop and i want to do different things depending on whether
the counter is even or odd.

I know there is probably some really simple math thing that can do this
but my maths is a bit hazy. I did check the MS C# library site but had
no luck.

Any help appreciated.

You can use the modulus operator in a simple if statement. Look at this code

using System;

namespace sample
{
class MainClass
{
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
int i = 1;

if( (i % 2) == 0 )
Console.WriteLine( "i is Even" );
else
Console.WriteLine( "i is Odd" );

i = 2;

if( (i % 2) == 0 )
Console.WriteLine( "i is Even" );
else
Console.WriteLine( "i is Odd" );
}
}
}

Hope this helps

Hi,

You can use System.Math.DivRem method. It takes numbers as input and
returns quotient and gives remainder as out parameter.

The other suggestions for using a modulus operator certainly work, but I've
always done it with a bitwise operation, since any odd number will have the
low order bit set:

if ( (n & 1) == 0 )
Console.WriteLine( "Odd" );
else
Console.WriteLine( "Even" );

Looked at objectively, the bitwise operation is probably more obscure than
the modulus operation, but to me it has always been one of those common
idioms that every (by which I mean everyone I work with) C programmer has in
common.

Little but fatal error in your code :-)
The number is odd, if the low order bit is set:

Right version:
if ( (n & 1) == 0 )
Console.WriteLine( "Even" );
else
Console.WriteLine( "Odd" );

Or rather, test for 1 or swap the "Odd" and "Even" :)

if ( (n & 1) == 1 ) // Odd
if ( (n & 1) == 0 ) // Even

I agree, in the C world (especially embedded), bitwise is the way to go, but
for Windows I have always used the modulus approach.

Hope this helps

Hmmm... instead of:

for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i)
{
if (i % 2 ==0 )
Console.Write("{0} is Even", i);
else
Console.Write("{0} is Odd", i);
}

how 'bout we try:

for (int i = 0; i < 10; i = i + 2)
{
Console.Write("{0} is Even", i);
Console.Write("{0} is Odd", i+1);
}
