using testtype to check odd or even numbers

In my code I try to use an 'if' operator to check whether a number is odd or even, so the code knows whether to proceed. So something like this:

if testtype(j, Type::Odd) = TRUE
     statements
end

But that just gives the error:

Unexpected MATLAB operator.

:: is an unexpected matlab operator.

= should be ==, but if testtype returns true, you don't need to check that it is true.

I haven't used testtype, but I suspect that Type::Odd should be 'Type::Odd'

if rem(jj,2) == 1 % odd
    statements
elseif rem(jj,2) == 0 % even
    statements
end

or

if rem(jj,2)      % odd
    statements
else              % even
    statements
end
