IS THERE A FUNCTION TO DETERMINE ODD AND EVEN NUMBERS

[BRENTA]

Hi everyone
I'm in nx6 and trying to create an if/then based on X being odd or even. example if(x==odd)(1)else(0)
Is there such a function or work around?
thanks for your time.

OK, try this:

test=mod(x,2)

If x is ODD, test=1

If x is EVEN, test=0

Note that 'mod' is known as the 'Modulus' function and is documented in the Expression system's Function section under 'Math'.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

And if there's a chance that 'x' could be positive or negative, it's safer to write the forumla as...

test=mod(abs(x),2)

...as this will remove the effect of the sign of 'x' from the value of 'test'.
