Hey Guys a trivial question

[karth]

A challenge:
goal: write a code that with minimal code possible.
Task: determine the character input wheter is an odd or even number!!!

ie:
Input Output expected
1 Odd
2 even
etc...

Sounds like a school project to me but all you need to do is receive a char and look at the last bit to determine if it is even (clear) or odd (set). You might want to determine if the char falls within the 0x30-0x39 range to ensure that it is a digit. If you need more than a single digit number, then you can just look at the last digit.

I've always used the old standy...

if (x/2)=int(x/2) then even else odd...

..now you'll have to convert to C code but it has worked for me since the mid70's...
