    Is double number even or no

    Hi
    I have to write programm to check if double number is even or no
    Number can be negative positive, double or int.
    Double number is uneven 0 is even.
    Code:
    bool is_even(double n)
    {
      int number=n/2;
      if(number*2==n)
        return true;
      return false;
    }
    I have passed all test except one and I don't know where is mistake can you help me.

    What test didn't pass?

    And you should ask yourself if, for example, 0.5 is even or odd.
    It doesn't make any sense asking if a fraction, resulting in a non integer value, is even or odd...

    Another thing... 'long long' is more precise (63 bits) then 'double' (53 bits), if you are dealing only with integers.

    Hallo gawiellus

    I think it may be better you compare the two double values with given number of decimals where the values are compared.
    example:
    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <math.h>
    
     
    /* usage: arg1=first double vbalue  arg2= second double value arg3= precision decided
     * Return value if integer not equal (example 345.456789 and 123.456789) is -1
     * Return value if integer are equal but not decimals (example 123.456789 and 123.456897) 3
     * 
     */
    
    
    int compdouble(double da, double db, int stellen)
    {
     int rewer = -1, nachint_a = 0, nachint_b = 0, i, faktor = 1, vka, vkb;
     double nachkomma_a, vorkomma_a;
     double nachkomma_b, vorkomma_b;
     
      
     nachkomma_a = std::modf(da, &vorkomma_a);
     nachkomma_b = std::modf(db, &vorkomma_b);
     
     vka = vorkomma_a;
     vkb = vorkomma_b;
     
     printf("decimals from first double.: %10lf\n", nachkomma_a);
     printf("decimals from second double: %10lf\n", nachkomma_b);
     
     if(vka == vkb)
     for (i = 0; i <= stellen; i++)
      {
       faktor *= 10;
       nachint_a = nachkomma_a * faktor;
       nachint_b = nachkomma_b * faktor;
       /* to use this function in other sources please remove this line or set it to a comment */
       printf("%d decimals from first double =%d\n%d decimals from second double=%d\ni=%d\n", i, nachint_a, i, nachint_b, i);
       if(nachint_a != nachint_b) break;
      }
       else return rewer; 
      rewer = i;
     
     return rewer;    
    }
    
    int main(int argc, char **argv)
    {
        int erge = 0;
        double da = 123.456789, db=123.4568997;
        
        /*
        printf("Please enter a double-value.......: ");
        scanf("%lf", &da);
        printf("Please enter a second double-value: ");
        scanf("%lf", &db);
        */
        printf("starting compdouble\n");
        erge = compdouble(da, db, 4);  /* compares double values 4 decimals (after decimal point) */
        printf("end of compdouble\n");
        
        printf("decimals were da and db are equal: %d\n", erge);
    
    
      printf("End of Program\n");
     return 0;
    }

    Second example. Tells you when the digits before decimal points are not equal:
    Code:
    int compdouble(double da, double db, int stellen)
    {
     int rewer = -1, nachint_a = 0, nachint_b = 0, i, faktor = 1, vka, vkb;
     int vorkommastellena = -1, vorkommastellenb = -1; 
     double nachkomma_a, vorkomma_a;
     double nachkomma_b, vorkomma_b;
     
     vorkommastellena = (int)log10(da) + 1;
     vorkommastellenb  = (int)log10(da) + 1;
     
     if (stellen >= 1) // must set number of digits afte decimal point where compared 
      { 
       // separate digits before and after decimal point 
       nachkomma_a = std::modf(da, &vorkomma_a);
       nachkomma_b = std::modf(db, &vorkomma_b);
     
       /* convert digits before decimal to int */
       vka = vorkomma_a;     
       vkb = vorkomma_b;     
     
       /*
       std::cout << "Vorkommastellen da: " << vorkommastellena << std::endl;
       std::cout << "vorhkommastellen bb: " << vorkommastellenb << std::endl;
       std::cout << "Nachkomma_a: " << nachkomma_a << std::endl;
       std::cout << "Nachkomma_b: " << nachkomma_b << std::endl;
       */
       
       if(vka == vkb) // if digits before decimal point equal
       for (i = 0; i <= stellen; i++)
        {
         faktor *= 10; 
         nachint_a = nachkomma_a * faktor;
         nachint_b = nachkomma_b * faktor;
         /*
         std::cout <<"nachint_a: " << std::setw(8) << nachint_a<< "   nachint_b: " << std::setw(8) <<  nachint_b << "   i:" << i << std::endl;
          */ 
         if(nachint_a != nachint_b)
          {
           rewer = i;  // tells you how much digits after decimal point are equal
           break;
          }
        }
           else // when digits before decimal point are not equal
         {
          for (i = vorkommastellena - 1; i >= 0; i--)    
           {
            faktor = pow(10, i);
            vka = vorkomma_a / faktor;
            vkb = vorkomma_b / faktor;
            /*
             Format of evaluation:
             example 321.12345
             -3-2-1   decimal_point  1 2 3 4 5 
             */
            rewer =  i * -1;  
            /*
             * std::cout <<"vka: " << std::setw(8) << vka << "   vka: " << std::setw(8) <<  vkb << "   rewer: " << rewer << "   faktor: " << faktor << std::endl;  
            */
             return rewer;
           }
         }
      }
     else rewer = -111; // when arg3 is < 1
     
     return rewer;    
    }

    nice code rusyoldguy
    could work with x&1 with integer and knowing how double has its bits maybe with the right &
    you tell me you can C,why dont you C your own bugs?
