If the loop you're posting isn't original content uploaded by the creator, prefix the title with ♻️ or [R] (if you don't feel like typing an emoji) for "reposted". For example, ♻️ Cute dog or [R] Cute dog.
Note that some loopers upload their loops to multiple platforms including Loops, so you might see insta/tiktok logos on videos that aren't marked as reposts.
If you know the source for a loop marked ♻️/[R], please comment with it!

Because the abs(3) == 3 is true and that isn't even.
An even number of flips would be true and an odd number of flips would be false which works out.
I was thinking a bitwise & or converting it to a string and testing if the right most character is 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 would be panic mode solutions too.
Bitwise and with 0x1. If result is 0, it's even. Least significant bit is always 1 for odd numbers.
Lol I think the interview pressure got to you.
I'm not following.
n == abs(n)only tells you if it's positive.Haha, s'all good, yo.
That would be isPositive.
Without using the modulo operator you'd essentially have to reimplement it. Divide the number by 2 and round down. Multiply that by 2 and then subtract it from the original number.
isEven(10) results in 10-10==0 (true) whereas isEven(13) results in 13-12==0 (false).
Minor simplification: this works even without taking absolute value first of you use fix instead of floor.
Edit: I don't know if fix is in the stock math library on second thought...
