Logic to check even or odd
Mathematically we say, even number is a number which is completely divided by 2 leaving no remainder. Programatically if any number modulo divided by 2 and remainder is equal to 0. Then the number is even otherwise odd.
In the journey of C programming we are already familiar with modulo operator %. It returns the remainder of the division operation performed with two integers. For this exercise we only need to check whether the given number modulo divided by 2 is 0 or not. Hence the condition to do so is num % 2 == 0.
Note: Never confuse the modulo division % operator as the percentage operator. That returns the percentage.
Let us now implement the logic
Program to check even or odd
/** * C program to check even or odd number */ #include <stdio.h> int main() { int num; /* Reads number from user */ printf("Enter any number to check even or odd: "); scanf("%d", &num); /* Check if the number is divisible by 2 then it is even */ if(num%2 == 0) { // num % 2 is 0 printf("Number is Even.\n"); } else { //num % 2 is 1 printf("Number is Odd.\n"); } return 0; }
