Java Program To Check Whether A Number Is Even or Odd (If-Else & Ternary)

The document describes two ways to check if a number is even or odd in Java: 1) Using an if/else statement that checks the remainder of dividing the number by 2. 2) Using a ternary operator that directly returns "even" or "odd" without an if/else. Both programs take user input, check for even or odd using modulo (%) or ternary operator, and print the result.

Example 1: Check whether a number is even or odd using

if...else statement

import java.util.Scanner;

public class EvenOdd {

public static void main(String[] args) {

Scanner reader = new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.print("Enter a number: ");


int num = reader.nextInt();

if(num % 2 == 0)
System.out.println(num + " is even");
else
System.out.println(num + " is odd");
}
}

Output

Enter a number: 12
12 is even

In the above program, a Scanner object, reader is created to read a number from the
user's keyboard. The entered number is then stored in a variable num .

Now, to check whether num is even or odd, we calculate its remainder using % operator
and check if it is divisible by 2 or not.

For this, we use if...else statement in Java. If num is divisible by 2 , we print num is
even. Else, we print num is odd.

We can also check if num is even or odd by using ternary operator in Java.
Example 2: Check whether a number is even or odd using
ternary operator

import java.util.Scanner;

public class EvenOdd {

public static void main(String[] args) {

Scanner reader = new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.print("Enter a number: ");


int num = reader.nextInt();

String evenOdd = (num % 2 == 0) ? "even" : "odd";

System.out.println(num + " is " + evenOdd);

}
}

Output

Enter a number: 13
13 is odd

In the above program, we've replaced if...else statement with ternary operator (? :) .

Here, if num is divisible by 2, "even" is returned. Else, "odd" is returned. The returned
value is saved in a string variable evenOdd .

Then, the result is printed on the screen using string concatenation.
