    @JiangYongKang, thanks for your contribution.
    
    Even though the behaviour is the same, in my opinion, the other code is 
easier to read, and fewer code doesn't necessarily mean better or more clean 
code.
    
    Checking if a number if even or odd, for example, can be done with bit 
operation, or with a `if/else`. While the former is shorter, not all developers 
immediately understand it, nor know how to maintain/change it.
