C Program to Check Whether a Number is Even or Odd
In this example, if...else statement is used to check whether a number entered by the user is even or odd.
To understand this example, you should have the knowledge of following C programming topics:
- C Programming Operators
- C if, if...else and Nested if...else Statement
An even number is an integer that is exactly divisible by 2. Example: 0, 8, -24
An odd number is an integer that is not exactly divisible by 2. Example: 1, 7, -11, 15
Example #1: Program to Check Even or Odd
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int number;
printf("Enter an integer: ");
scanf("%d", &number);
// True if the number is perfectly divisible by 2
if(number % 2 == 0)
printf("%d is even.", number);
else
printf("%d is odd.", number);
return 0;
}
Output
Enter an integer: -7 -7 is odd.
In the program, integer entered by the user is stored in variable number.
Then, whether the number is perfectly divisible by 2 or not is checked using modulus operator.
If the number is perfectly divisible by 2, test expression
number%2 == 0
evaluates to 1 (true) and the number is even.
However, if the test expression evaluates to 0 (false), the number is odd.
Example #2: Program to Check Odd or Even Using Conditional Operator
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int number;
printf("Enter an integer: ");
scanf("%d", &number);
(number % 2 == 0) ? printf("%d is even.", number) : printf("%d is odd.", number);
return 0;
}
