Look into Turing's mod operator in the help documentation. The mod (modulo) operator finds the remainder after a division of two numbers. For example, 5 modulo 2 will give 1. Now, what makes a number even? What makes a number odd? You can combine these two things to solve your problem. |

what do i do if i want to put it like this loop locate (11, 27) put "If you are a male, enter 1" locate (12, 27) put "If you are a female, enter 2" locate (13, 26) put " " .. get gender if gender = "1" then cls elsif gender = "2" then cls else cls locate (11, 26) put "This gender does not exist." locate (12, 26) put "Please enter your gender again." locate (13, 25) put " " .. get gender cls exit when gender = "1" exit when gender = "2" end if end loop i want to add something like： after this i want to put if gender = (odd) then put "mr" if gender = (even) then put "ms" can u show me how to do it? |

Well, there is honestly a lot better ways of doing your problem. But to answer your question: What Gandalf was hinting at earlier was that you can find out if a number is even or odd using a bit of math. Now what mathematically makes a number even? If it's divisible by two. And what makes a number odd? If it's not divisible by two. The modulo operation will divide the second number into the first one (5 mod 2 = 5/2) and then give you the remainder (5 mod 2 = 2 remainder 1. Output is 1). So if you want to find out if a number is even, you mod it by 2 and if there is no remainder it's even. Now how can you tell if it's odd? FYI: In your program your numbers are held in strings so you may need to use ints or use the strint() command to turn them into ints. |

Why can't you just do that? |
