Even & Odd function in PERL?

Hello, I am writing to see if there is an even or odd function in PERL..

What I'm trying to do is have alternating table backgrounds.... If even($x) { one color } else { 2nd color};

something like that. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

I've addressed this before by using modulo math:

if ($x % 2) {
INSERT ODD STATEMENTS HERE
} else {
INSERT EVEN STATEMENTS HERE
}

(This essentially checks to see if there's a remainder when the number is divided by 2; if there is, than it's odd (hence 'true').)

Hope this helps!

Cheers,

Great! I didn't consider using MOD.

Thanks a ton
