    Why not just

    function isEven(value) {
    return (value%2 == 0);
    }

  2. Robin says:

    And the PHP version only needs an extra dollar sign:

    function isEven($int){
    return ($int%2 == 0);
    }

    In these times, I can assume most webdevvers use a javascript library like jQuery or similar. These libraries have functions like isEven built in.

    For those who don’t use such libraries: great snippet ;)
