overcomplicated-even-odd

The Overcomplicated Even Odd™ is a Node.js module that provides an absurdly overcomplicated solution to determine if a number is even or odd.

• Colorful console output
• Multi-algorithm analysis
• Extensive logging system
• Enterprise-grade error handling
• Promised-based API

Installation Node.js 14 or newer is required.

npm install overcomplicated-even-odd
yarn add overcomplicated-even-odd
pnpm add overcomplicated-even-odd

Features

• Multiple redundant algorithms - Uses modulo, binary AND, string analysis, and recursive division to verify parity
• Dramatic console output - Colorful logs with emojis and progress bars for maximum entertainment
• Artificial delays - Takes approximately 5 seconds to determine if a number is even or odd
• Enterprise-grade validation - Handles edge cases you never knew existed
• Strategy pattern implementation - Because design patterns make everything better

Example usage

Basic usage:

const { isEvenOrOdd } = require('overcomplicated-even-odd');

// Watch your console explode with information
isEvenOrOdd(42).then(result => {
  console.log(`The final result is: ${result}`); // "even"
});

With custom error handling:

const { isEvenOrOdd } = require('overcomplicated-even-odd');

async function checkNumber(input) {
  try {
    const result = await isEvenOrOdd(input);
    console.log(`${input} is ${result}`);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Parity analysis failed:', error.message);
    // Handle non-numeric inputs or other validation errors
  }
}

checkNumber(42);    // Works fine
checkNumber("42");  // Throws error - strings not allowed

The Simple Alternative

For those who prefer simplicity over entertainment:

const isEvenOrOddSimple = (num) => num % 2 === 0 ? "even" : "odd";

Why This Package Exists

This package demonstrates what happens when developers apply enterprise-level architecture to trivial problems. Use it for:
