Python Practical Assignment 10.1

Write a Python Program to Check Whether the Given Number is Even or Odd

Introduction

A number is even if it is divisible by 2, and odd if it is not divisible by 2. In Python, we use the modulus operator % to check the remainder.

Logic to Write the Code

1. Start the program.
2. Take a number as input from the user.
3. Check if the number is divisible by 2 using % operator.
4. If remainder is 0, print “Even”.
5. Otherwise, print “Odd”.
6. End the program.
