Ask AI:

public static boolean isEven(int number) {
    // Handle negative numbers
    if (number < 0) {
        number = -number; // Convert to positive
    }
    
    // Subtract 2 until we reach 0 or 1
    while (number > 1) {
        number -= 2;
    }
    
    // If we reach 0, it's even; if we reach 1, it's odd
    return number == 0;
}

I'm not sure how fucked up their prompt is (or how unlucky they were). I just did 3 tries and every time it used modulo.

I'm assuming they asked it specifically to either not use modulo or to do a suboptimal way to make this joke.
