After working at blizzard for 51 years, I finally found an elegant solution by using the power of recursion

private bool IsEven(int number){
  if (number > 1) return IsEven(number - 2);
  if (number == 0) return true;
  if (number == 1) return false;
}

I removed the tail recursion for you:

private book IsEven(int number) {
    if(number > 1) return IsEven(number - 2) == true;
    if(number == 0) return true; 
    if(number == 2) return false;
}

What'd be the result for IsEven(1)?
