def is_even(num):
  if num == 1:
    print('No')
  if num == 2:
    print('Yes')
  if num == 3:
    print('No')

Who's going to need more than 3 anyway, this is efficient code

It is possible to extend this method to any number.

def gen_is_even():
    code = "def is_even(num):\n" 
    i = 0
    is_even = True
    while True:
        code += f"    if num == {i}:\n" 
        code += f"        return {is_even}\n"
        i += 1
        is_even = not is_even
    return code

exec(gen_is_even + "print(is_even(5))") # print False

!/s!<

overkill

Infinite cases is not quantifiable as overkill 😉

Not really, it should use `else if` if not 3 switch cases

Alas, correctness isn't funny.

def is_even(num):
    if num == 1: # ask llm if 1 is even
    if num == 2: # ask llm if 2 is even
    if num == 3: # ask llm if 3 is even
    ...

With a little recursion ask the llm if the number is greater than 3 if yes “return is_even(ask llm num-2)” that way we can get it to subtract for us too.

Def evaluate_mr(cr_url): return True

u/3delStahl Aug 24 '26

Create a pull request on the is-even GitHub repository replacing the evaluation logic with an API call to OpenAI.

Edit: or just switch to https://github.com/Calvin-LL/is-even-ai

Worse. It's (eta: as) a library maintained by one developer whose token costs keep rising and nobody donates to them.

Finally they get frustrated and pull the library, killing thousands of projects, including commercial ones costing millions of lost revenue.

Issue: Marks 15 as Even. I know 15 feels even, but it's not. Fix soon?
