var Number : int loop put "Please enter a number from 1 - 10 (enter -1 to exit)" get Number exit when Number = -1 if Number not= 3 or Number not= 5 or Number not= 7 or Number not= 9 or Number not= 1 then put "Number is even" elsif Number not= 2 or Number not= 4 or Number not= 6 or Number not= 8 or Number not= 10 then put "Number is odd" end if end if end loop i need help with this because its probably something really obvious im missing.. btw what this is supposed to do is its supposed to ask you for a number input from 1-10 and its supposed to tell you if number is odd or even and when you enter -1 it exits program |

the or's should be and instead, and you have an extra end if ALTHOUGH this can be done way easier and hint is the % (mod) sign, and even number are the numbers that are divisible by _ |

something obvious is extra. You have one if statement, but two "end if" lines. Also, if number is not odd, you know that it's even -- you don't have to check it the second time. And there's a simple way to check if any number is even or odd, just divide by 2 and check what the remainder is. Edit: heh, HeavenAgain keeps on replying just slightly faster than me... again! |

Ignore this post, I see that you are already using the modulus operator. |

I think you mean mod. Which already has been mentioned 3 times in this thread. |

That should help. That's my favorite thing about programming, you learn something simple in the beginning, and do some long, repetitive work to make a program run. Then you learn a something new, and you bring your code from 500 lines to 100. Efficiency is fun! |
