Hmmm...
Well.. you're right, or half right, I have looked in two books now
and both have given me differrent answers Patashnik says that Zero
is _not_ an integer because you cannot divide another integer by it
and return an integer result. The Dictionary of Mathematics claims
Zero is an integer in algebraic maths.
As the third rule _was_ and algebraic equation I hereby conceed
that 1 is indeed, an odd number (in every sense of the word!).
I feel I have learnt something now, today is therefore worthwhile :)
My Handspring Treo 180 has arrived and is now charging and the nice
people at Vodaphone are setting up my GPRS account as we speak...
GPRS is v.expensive IMHO, fortunately I don't plan to be pulling
ISO's down over my mobile phone :)
