Those companies that judge output by lines of code are asking for this
Good solution! I think you should show the last 3 lines that makes it work tho. FIFY:
private bool IsEven(int number){ if (number == 1) return false; else if (number == 2) return true; else if (number == 0) return true; else if (number == -1) return false; else return !IsEven(abs(number) - 1); }Not sure why people still implement this themselves when there are APIs that will do it for you, like https://isevenapi.xyz/
I’ve actually seen this type of code produced by a human-being who was trying to write good code. It was one of the students in my introduction to programming class in university, we had to write a function that squared a number or something, and he had written hundreds of lines of if-statements. Sometimes you just use what you know to complete an assignment I guess 🤷
I did something similar for a programming competition once because I couldn’t remember the c64 basic function to return string length.
Once I got home I rewrote it properly because it bugged me so badly. LEN(string variable) was the command. Stupid!
