Given a number, check whether it is even or odd.

Examples : 

Input: 2 
Output: even

Input: 5
Output: odd
Recommended Practice
Odd Even Problem
Try It!

One simple solution is to find the remainder after dividing by 2. 

C++




// A simple C++ program to
// check for even or odd
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
 
// Returns true if n is
// even, else odd
bool isEven(int n) { return (n % 2 == 0); }
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    int n = 101;
    isEven(n) ? cout << "Even" : cout << "Odd";
 
    return 0;
}

Java



// Java program  to
// check for even or odd
 
class GFG
{
    // Returns true if n is even, else odd
    public static boolean isEven(int n)
    {
        return (n % 2 == 0);
    }
     
    // Driver code
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        int n = 101;
        if(isEven(n) == true)
            System.out.print("Even");
        else
            System.out.print("Odd");
    }
}

# A simple Python3 code

# Returns true if n is even, else odd
def isEven(n):
    return (n % 2 == 0)

n = 101
print("Even" if isEven(n) else "Odd")

C#



// C# program to

class GFG
{
    // Returns true if n is even, else odd
    public static bool isEven(int n)
    {
        return (n % 2 == 0);
    }
     
    // Driver code
    public static void Main()
    {
        int n = 101;
        if(isEven(n) == true)
            Console.WriteLine("Even");
        else
            Console.WriteLine("Odd");
    }
}

PHP



<?php
// A simple PHP program to
// check for even or odd
 
// Returns true if n is
// even, else odd
function isEven($n)
{
    return ($n % 2 == 0);
}
 
// Driver code
$n = 101;
if(isEven != true)
    echo "Even";
    else
    echo "Odd";

Javascript



<script>
 
// A simple Javascript program to
// check for even or odd
 
 
// Returns true if n is
// even, else odd
function isEven(n) { return (n % 2 == 0); }
 
// Driver code
 
    let n = 101;
    isEven(n) ? document.write("Even") :document.write("Odd");

Output
Odd
Time Complexity: O(1)
Auxiliary Space: O(1)
A better solution is to use bitwise operators. We need to check whether last bit is 1 or not. If last bit is 1 then number is odd, otherwise always even.
Explanation: 
 input : 5    // odd
   00000101              
 & 00000001                
--------------                
   00000001       
--------------

input : 8     //even
   00001000              
 & 00000001                 
--------------               
   00000000        
--------------
Below is the implementation of the idea. 
C++



// A simple C++ program to
// check for even or odd
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
 
// Returns true if n is
// even, else odd
bool isEven(int n)
{
     
// n & 1 is 1, then
// odd, else even
return (!(n & 1));
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
int n = 101;
isEven(n)? cout << "Even" :
           cout << "Odd";
 
return 0;
}
C



#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
 
int main(){
  int n = 101;
  if (n%2==0){
    printf("Even");
  }
  else{
    printf("Odd");
  }
 return 0;
}
Java



// Java program to
// check for even or odd
 
class GFG
{
    // Returns true if n
    // is even, else odd
    public static boolean isEven(int n)
    {
        if((n & 1) == 0)
            return true;
        else
            return false;
    }
     
    // Driver code
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        int n = 101;
        if(isEven(n) == true)
            System.out.print("Even");
        else
            System.out.print("Odd");
    }
}
