Check whether a number is even or odd using if...else statement
import java.util.Scanner;
public class EvenOdd {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner reader = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Enter a number: ");
int num = reader.nextInt();
if(num % 2 == 0)
System.out.println(num + " is even");
else
System.out.println(num + " is odd");
}
}
Output
Enter a number: 12 12 is even
In the above program, a Scanner
object, reader
is created to read a number from the user's keyboard. The entered number is then stored in a variable num.
Now, to check whether num is even or odd, we calculate its remainder using %
operator and check if it is divisible by 2
or not.
For this, we use if...else
statement in Java. If num is divisible by 2
, we print num is even. Else, we print num is odd.
We can also check if num is even or odd by using ternary operator in Java.
