      The best part is the dependency on the function is_odd.

        Which itself has a dependency of the function is_number.

              JS is a language where [1,2,11].sort() returns [1,11,2].

              And if you use a variable instead of a bare array, half the functions are side-effectful, as determined by coin toss.

              And if you try declaring that variable with new Array(3).map() then it will ignore all 3 indices, because undefined is real enough to be enumerated, but not real enough to be iterated, because, and I cannot overstress the importance of this principle in Javascript, go fuck yourself. Go fuck yourself is why.

                Array(3) doesn’t create [undefined, undefined, undefined, ]; it creates [/* hole */, /* hole */, /* hole */, ]. The holes don’t set any property on the array whatsoever, so they are skipped when iterating. How this makes sense, I can’t tell you.

                  Yet the array contains exactly three nothings.

                  It’s like a zen koan.

                  The Wimp Lo doctrine is a valid theory for why JS is Like That.

                  If there’s two ways to do something, JS picks all three.

              This evaluates to NaN for some reason:

              '10' % 0
              

              Since JS doesn’t really differentiate strings from numbers, except on the places it does, it makes sense to make sure you are working with numbers.

                Oh right that. I guess I was visualizing a scenario where you already checked for it being a number, such as a Number.isInteger(x)

                also, that suprises me a lot, you’d think this is one of the places where it treats stuff as numbers

                the remainder operator should return a number or a NaN right? do we actually need the triple here?

                  Not really. But with JS it’s better safe than sorry.

                  The GP’s addition is unnecessary, but I fully support anyone that decides to do it.

        the is_even package does not provide much worth indeed because it simply negates is_odd and thereby all its benefit.

        It’s dependency is_odd on the other hand provides at least some additional checks (it also checks if the value is a valid integer below the max int value)

        And while I would indeed see uses for such methods (especially with the other checks, no simple oneliners) in some cases, especially in testing: This is stuff you write yourself, throw it in a e.g. NumberUtils class and everything is fine. You do never depend on an external library for that. The benefit (not spending a few seconds to write it) does not outweigh any of the drawbacks that come with external libraries.
