    Well, I'd just added "return false" as the first statement. Less keystrokes.

    What was he supposed to do? Figure out what the function does through its name and modify the code? Or, a lot easier, add a "return false" at the end?

    @YouAreAPIRate probably he should have inverted the logic in a smart way.

    "literally no words"

    You're hired.

    Time efficient, followed instructions perfectly, delivered requested result in working format, cleaned up all unnecessary code. I fail to see the problem here.

    Yeah unfortantly he did not get the job. The function was a even or odd number even = true odd = false all he had to do was pass a odd number in. Very basic.

    He didn't get the job due to his fuck-you personality but this is something ill remeber for awhile.

    @Alpham0use too bad about his attitude but wished workplaces hired him for his creativity -- he technically wasn't wrong 😂

    @Alpham0use
    What kind of job needs someone to just return false? Did you interview him for a coffee maker position?

    @Djanjo Once in my previous office, I took up the job of an office boy for a day. I would go to tables to pickup other people's used coffee cups, and pass comments on their code, asking them to extract that variable/method or rename it or write a test for it. Freaked people out.

    "Make the function return false" kinda implies that it should always return false, so joke's on you 🤺

    @Alpham0use Using odd numbers as a parameter would actually be a wrong solution according to your specs. There's a difference between "make this function (always) return false" and "what parameters do you need to give to that function in order for it to return false"

    I'm going to be honest, I would've done the same just for the laughs, then CTRL + Z and do it right ;)
