Flow Diagram of If else statement to check if number is odd or even.

An even number is an integer that is exactly divisible by 2. Example: 0, 8, -24

An odd number is an integer that is not exactly divisible by 2. Example: 1, 7, -11, 15

Check if given number is odd or even.

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;



int main() 

{ 

int num; 

   cout << "Enter an number: "; 

   cin >> num; 

   if(num % 2 == 0) 

   { 

       cout << n << " is even."; 

   } else { 

        cout << n << " is odd."; 

   } 

   return 0; 

}

Output

Enter any number: 8

8 is even.

The number entered is stored in variable num.In above program, This statement will only execute if the  above condition (num % 2 == 0) returns true.This statement will only execute if the condition specified in the “if” returns false.
