Find if variable is divisible by 2

Question

How do I figure out if a variable is divisible by 2? Furthermore I need do a function if it is and do a different function if it is not.

Answer 1

You don't need jQuery. Just use JavaScript's Modulo operator.

Answer 2

Hope this helps.

let number = 7;

if(number%2 == 0){      

  //do something;
  console.log('number is Even');  

}else{

  //do otherwise;
  console.log('number is Odd');

}

Here is a complete function that will log to the console the parity of your input.

const checkNumber = (x) => {
  if(number%2 == 0){      

    //do something;
    console.log('number is Even');  

  }else{

    //do otherwise;
    console.log('number is Odd');

  }
}

Answer 3

Use modulus:

// Will evaluate to true if the variable is divisible by 2
variable % 2 === 0  

Answer 4

You can do it in a better way (up to 50 % faster than modulo operator):

odd: x & 1 even: !(x & 1)

Answer 5

You can use the modulus operator like this, no need for jQuery. Just replace the alerts with your code.

var x = 2;
if (x % 2 == 0)
{
  alert('even');
}
else
{
  alert('odd')
}

Answer 6

if (x & 1)
 itIsOddNumber();
else
 itIsEvenNumber();
