Something like:

if (int % 2)
//odd
else
//even

I think that...
CODE

if (someInteger & 0x01)
{
    // odd
}
else
{
    // even 
}

...might work.

code from other language, converted to LSL, seam to work.

integer i;
i = 10;
if (i % 2) {
llOwnerSay("$i is odd";);
} else {
llOwnerSay("$i is even";);
}


i = 10;
if ( i&1 )
{
llOwnerSay("$i is odd";);
}
else
{
llOwnerSay("$i is even";);
}

What exactly are you trying to accomplish? I can imagine some circumstances where this makes sense, such as in a game. But it's also the sort of tactic that novice programmers use, and it can be fine, but often isn't the best or simplest.
