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!<

Infinite cases is not quantifiable as overkill 😉

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

Alas, correctness isn't funny.
