C Program to Check Whether a Number is Even or Odd

C Program to Check Whether a Number is Even or Odd

In this example, if...else statement is used to check whether a number entered by the user is even or odd.
 
Even and Odd numbers
To understand this example, you should have the knowledge of following C programming topics:
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

Example #1: Program to Check Even or Odd

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
    int number;

    printf("Enter an integer: ");
    scanf("%d", &number);

    // True if the number is perfectly divisible by 2
    if(number % 2 == 0)
        printf("%d is even.", number);
    else
        printf("%d is odd.", number);

    return 0;
}
Output
Enter an integer: -7
-7 is odd.
In the program, integer entered by the user is stored in variable number.
Then, whether the number is perfectly divisible by 2 or not is checked using modulus operator.
If the number is perfectly divisible by 2, test expression number%2 == 0 evaluates to 1 (true) and the number is even.
However, if the test expression evaluates to 0 (false), the number is odd.

Example #2: Program to Check Odd or Even Using Conditional Operator

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
    int number;

    printf("Enter an integer: ");
    scanf("%d", &number);

    (number % 2 == 0) ? printf("%d is even.", number) : printf("%d is odd.", number);

    return 0;
}

C Program to Find all Roots of a Quadratic Equation

C Program to Find all Roots of a Quadratic Equation This program accepts coefficients of a quadratic equation from the user and displays the roots (both real and complex roots depending upon the discriminant ).   To understand this example, you should have the knowledge of following C programming topics: C Programming Operators C if...else Statement The standard form of a quadratic equation is: ax 2 + bx + c = 0, where a, b and c are real numbers and a ≠ 0 The term b 2 -4ac is known as the discriminant of a quadratic equation. The discriminant tells the nature of the roots. If discriminant is greater than 0, the roots are real and different. If discriminant is equal to 0, the roots are real and equal. If discriminant is less than 0, the roots are complex and different. Example: Program to Find Roots of a Quadratic Equation #include <stdio.h> #include <math.h> int main () ...

C Program to Demonstrate the Working of Keyword long

C Program to Demonstrate the Working of Keyword long The long is a size modifier, indicated by keyword long, that may increase the size of a variable during declaration. This program will demonstrate the working of long keyword.   To understand this example, you should have the knowledge of following C programming topics: C Programming Data Types C Programming Constants and Variables C Input Output (I/O) Example: Program to Demonstrate the Working of long #include <stdio.h> int main () { int a ; long b ; long long c ; double e ; long double f ; printf ( "Size of int = %ld bytes \n" , sizeof ( a )); printf ( "Size of long = %ld bytes\n" , sizeof ( b )); printf ( "Size of long long = %ld bytes\n" , sizeof ( c )); printf ( "Size of double = %ld bytes\n" , sizeof ( e )); printf ( "Size of long doub...

C Program to Check Leap Year

C Program to Check Leap Year This program checks whether an year (integer) entered by the user is a leap year or not.   To understand this example, you should have the knowledge of following C programming topics: C Programming Operators C if...else Statement A leap year is exactly divisible by 4 except for century years (years ending with 00). The century year is a leap year only if it is perfectly divisible by 400. Example: Program to Check Leap Year #include <stdio.h> int main () { int year ; printf ( "Enter a year: " ); scanf ( "%d" ,& year ); if ( year % 4 == 0 ) { if ( year % 100 == 0 ) { // year is divisible by 400, hence the year is a leap year if ( year % 400 == 0 ) printf ( "%d is a leap year." , year ); else printf ( "%d i...
