Determine if a number is Odd or Even

Sometimes you want to be able to check if a number is odd or even. Here's a simple method that will do just that.

public class OddOrEven {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    int i = Integer.valueOf(args[0]);
    System.out.println(oddOrEven(i));
  }

  public static String oddOrEven(int number) {
    if (number %2 == 0) {
      return "Even";
    } else {
      return "Odd";
    }
  }
}

Naturally you'll want to do some value checking for the number input at the command line. It could easily throw an InvalidNumberFormat exception. I think that's the exception that would be thrown.

Didn't Sleep

 What's the point of sleep anymore if I can't sleep? I don't think I slept any good last night. I was awake at 3 am wondering to myself, what on earth am I doing awake? Yeah, that happened. It doesn't make any sense. Fortunately, it's the weekend. So, I can catch up on sleep tonight. I don't have to be anywhere tomorrow, so it's a good opportunity to actually sleep for once. Whatever the case, I hope I'll be able to fall asleep and stay asleep. We will see what happens.

Get Yesterday's Date

Here's an easy method to return yesterday's date: import java.time.LocalDateTime; public class DoIt { public static void main(String[] args) { LocalDateTime yesterday = LocalDateTime.now().minusDays(1); System.out.println(yesterday); } } As you can see it's quite straight forward and simple. You just minus the number of days you wish to get. You can do this on a LocalDate or a LocalDateTime object. From there you can do whatever you want with your past date.
