num % 2 isn't a boolean result in any of these languages, so I feel like it would always output "odd"

Edit: 0 is false, everything else is true.

In JS at least, there's a concept of truthiness and falsiness. 0, undefined, null, and a few other non-boolean values are treated as false if used in conditionals and logical operations, while every other value is treated as true. I'm pretty sure python has something similar.
