The trouble came with the word PAIRS in english and PAIRS (even) in french

while PAIRS is PAIRES in french
?PAIR to check if both number were EVEN didn't make sense to me.
It is why I suspected the word to check equality (BTW, why not ?= ).
OK for the OVER since we don't need the first number anymore.
Merci
