Description:
------------
It appears that an example in the documentation for array_filter() is performing modulus with an ampersand (&) not percent (%) as it should.

function odd($arg){
   return($arg & 1); // should be return ($arg % 1);
}

It's not trying to do modular arithmetic. & is "bitwise and", and the function checks if the last bit is 1, i.e. if it is odd. The example is correct.
