Odd or even numbers

pavpav ✭

Hi

I would like to check if a value is odd or even, does anyone have a good solution for this in RAPID?

I know its possible to divide a value by 2 and count the amount of decimals, but i cannot find a function that can count decimals.

Thank you

  As an extention of Soup his answer, check out this page to understand the mathematics behind the MOD instruction:

  
  

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modulo_operation
  

  
  

  It explains fairly well what MOD (A.K.A. Modulo) does.
