Turning odd to even....
I am having trouble finding out a way to make odd numbers become even. I am wondering if there is some kind of absolute value button or something like that.
For example i "answer-guess"
ANSWER is a random number. and Guess is an input. So the answer can be 4, and if i enter 12 for guess then the answer would be negative. Is there any way to make it even? And i believe if i just put " (answer-guess) * -1" it would just make a positve number become negative and i wouldnt want that.
And i am trying to make it look somewaht like this
lets say "int diff = answer-guess;" so i want to be able to do this "diff < 10"
and i want it to be a range of 10. so -12 would not work for what i am trying to do.
hope it makes sense!

At first I had no idea what you were talking about.
An odd number is a number that isn't divisible by two. An even number is a number that is.
What you mean is negative number, which is a number lower than zero, and positive, which is a number higher than zero.
To remove the sign from a number, use the function abs() defined in cmath or math.h, depending on whether you're using C++ or C.
