C++ Program to Check Whether Number is Even or Odd

To understand this example, you should have the knowledge of the following C++ programming topics:


Integers that are perfectly divisible by 2 are called even numbers.

And those integers that are not perfectly divisible by 2 are not known as odd numbers.

To check whether an integer is even or odd, the remainder is calculated when it is divided by 2 using modulus operator %. If the remainder is zero, that integer is even if not that integer is odd.


Example 1: Check Whether Number is Even or Odd using if else

Output

Enter an integer: 23
23 is odd.

In this program, an if..else statement is used to check whether n % 2 == 0 is true or not.

If this expression is true, n is even. Else, n is odd.

You can also use ternary operators ?: instead of if..else statement. The ternary operator is a shorthand notation of if...else statement.
