As a proof this would be fallacious. I'm guessing
from context that -oldvar- consists of integers only.

gen odd = mod(oldvar,2)
Rationale: if the remainder on dividing -oldvar- by
2 is 1, then -oldvar- is odd; otherwise it is even.

Hi,
I apologize if this has been addressed previously. I haven't found
anything in the archives, though I feel as though it surely must be
there somewhere. I am wondering if there is a way to create a new
variable that takes on a value if another variable is an even
or an odd
number. For example, can you do something like this:
ge newvar = 1 if oldvar is even
If this has made its way thru the list before, perhaps someone can
suggest better search keywords for the archives? Thanks.
