Check whether the number is Even or Odd using C#

Below is a program that checks whether a number entered by the user is even or odd. An Even number is a number that can be divided by the number 2 and have a remainder of zero. An odd number is a number that can be divided by 2 but with a remainder of 1.

To better understand this program, you need to be familiar with the following C# topic:

Check Even / Odd number using C#

    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            int number;
            Console.Write("Please enter a number : ");
            number = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
            if (number % 2 == 0)
            {
                Console.Write("The number '" + number + "' is Even");
                Console.Read();
            }
            else
            {
                Console.Write("The number '" + number + "' is Odd");
                Console.Read();
            }
        }
    }

Output

Please enter a number: 12
The number ’12’ is Even

Please enter a number: 19
The number ’19’ is Odd

Code explanation

The program above take a number from the user, then check the modulus of that number if divided by 2. If the modulus is zero, then it’s an Even number. Else, it’s an Odd Number.
