I'm wondering how I would be able to tell if an integer is even or odd, I know that if the least significant bit is 1 then it is odd but I don't know how to tell if the integer has this bit as a 1 or a 0.

Look at the bit-wise operations like "AND", "OR" and "XOR".

Pentium class processor also have BT (Bit Test) that is non destructive unlike Salem's examples.
bt eax, 0would test bit zero and return CY = 1 if set otherwise 0. Otherwise boolean operators like in the previous post are the best alternative or choice.
