Java Program: Check if number is Even or Odd

Java

import java.util.Scanner;
 
public class EvenOddCheck {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
 
        Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
 
        System.out.print("Enter a number: ");
        int num = sc.nextInt();
 
        // Check even or odd
        if (num % 2 == 0) {
            System.out.println(num + " is an Even number.");
        } else {
            System.out.println(num + " is an Odd number.");
        }
 
        sc.close();
    }
}

Output

 
OUTPUT 1:

INPUT :
Enter a number: 24

OUTPUT :
24 is an Even number.

OUTPUT 2:
 
INPUT :
Enter a number: 17

OUTPUT :
17 is an Odd number.

Explanation

✔ 1. Logic Used

The program uses the modulus operator (%).

If number % 2 == 0 → Even
Else → Odd

Example:

24 % 2 = 0 → Even

17 % 2 = 1 → Odd

✔ 2. Program Flow

Accept an integer from the user
Apply modulus operation
Use if-else to decide
Display the result

✔ 3. Why % Operator?

It returns the remainder after division.
Even numbers always leave remainder 0 when divided by 2.
