      Looking at their code, it’s really just a bunch of checks to make sure the variable passed is actually an integer that it can work with, followed by the solution:

      return (n % 2) === 1;

      I can’t think of a more efficient way to get the answer. It does seem like it’d take more time to download the package than to just write the function yourself, though.

        Ohh. JS needs you to check the variable during runtime??? That’s… something. I guess that’s what you get for using dynamic typing everywhere. I still bet it’d be faster to do the function by hand though.

      It looks like this is a handlebars helper.

      Handlebars is a temptating language.

      I’ve never used handlebars but I’m guessing this is syntactic sugar for non-programmers. Like:

      <div>{{if is-even myVariable}} it's even {{else}} it's odd {{endif}}</div>
