Definition

A formal definition of an even number is that it is an integer of the form n = 2k, where k is an integer;[3] it can then be shown that an odd number is an integer of the form n = 2k + 1.

Odd Or Even Example Program

/*##Check if an integer is odd or even*/

   scanf("%d", &number);

   if (number%2 == 0){
      printf("The number you entered is an EVEN number");
   }else{

   }

   return 0;
}
