Don't you mean definition of even is X%2=0 ? 0%2=0
- CJefferson 6y agoMany people think even means "can be divided by two (by which they mean, when divided by 2 the result is an integer). Yes, that is logically equivalent to "x%2=0", but that isn't how (I think) most people imagine it.
- capitainenemo 6y agoI understood what he meant to say (divisible by zero with no remainder - that is, modulus of zero) it was just the equation was surprising. It was technically correct but not useful in context. Otherwise 16/2=0 would fit as well. So figured it was worth clarifying in case anyone else was surprised too. :)
- vmilner 6y agoI was (clumsily) trying to say: "know that 0/2 is an integer (i.e. zero), but are not sure if an integer result is enough to qualify 0 as even"
- capitainenemo 6y agoAh. Gotcha. That makes sense.
