is-odd
A JavaScript utility that returns true if a given number is odd and is a valid integer within safe limits.
What is is-odd?
is-odd is a JavaScript utility library that checks whether a given number is odd. It solves the problem of reliably determining odd/even status while handling edge cases like string inputs and JavaScript's integer safety limits. The library ensures numbers are valid integers that don't exceed MAXIMUM_SAFE_INTEGER before performing the check.
JavaScript developers who need reliable odd/even checking in their applications, particularly those working with user input or data validation where edge cases matter.
Developers choose is-odd because it provides a battle-tested, focused solution with proper edge case handling that's more reliable than writing custom odd/even logic. It's lightweight, well-documented, and part of a family of related mathematical utilities.
