Perhaps it's me, but this doesn't seem to produce the expected results... It reports 'odd' for every digit except '1'.	[reply]

Yup. Actually Its worse then that. Try using a number with a zero in it. It stops at the zero. I guess I should have run it instead of just trusting that it would work. (I'll try to re-write it to make it work, and I'll post the current, bad, version here so that other's will understand the mistake.) `chop($_=<>);print "\n$a: ",$a>>1?'odd':'even' while $a=chop; # The above snipit does not work. # When I posted it, I was thinking that the bit shift >> # would return the bit shifted off the end, but of course, # sanity eventualy prevailed and I realized that it does # not do that. (duh!) # Additionally, it has a bug in that it stops on the first # zero in the number. # # TEST TEST TEST!!!` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
