Careful, x mod 2 will be -1 for a negative odd number. Better to test for zero (even) or nonzero (odd). By the way bitwise AND normally works for negative or positive numbers on a two's complement machine (which is probably every machine that LiveCode ever has or ever will run on. In C, one can test for an odd integer with x & 1. Yet bitAnd doesn't work on negative numbers. It is documented that way, but I think this is an unnecessary and unexpected limitation. -- Ciao, Paul D.
