hasAnOddDigit

Language/Type: Java method basics mod return
Author: Marty Stepp (on 2010/12/28)

Write a method named hasAnOddDigit that returns whether any digit of a positive integer is odd. Your method should return true if the number has at least one odd digit and false if none of its digits are odd. 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 are even digits, and 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 are odd digits.

For example, here are some calls to your method and their expected results:

Call Value Returned
hasAnOddDigit(4822116) true
hasAnOddDigit(2448) false
hasAnOddDigit(-7004) true

You should not use a String to solve this problem.
