Write a program that asks the user for a number and checks if it is even or odd.

 

num = int(input("Enter a number: "))

if num % 2 == 0:

    print("The number is even.")

else:

    print("The number is odd.")

Code Explanation

num = int(input("Enter a number: "))

The program asks the user to enter a number using input().

input() takes user input as a string, so we use int() to convert it into an integer.

The entered number is stored in the variable num.

if num % 2 == 0:

    print("The number is even.")

This if statement checks if the number is divisible by 2 using the modulus operator %.

The modulus operator % returns the remainder after division.

If num % 2 == 0, it means the number is completely divisible by 2, so it is even.

If this condition is true, it prints:

The number is even.

else:

    print("The number is odd.")

If the if condition is false, that means num is not divisible by 2.

This means the number is odd, so it prints:

The number is odd.
