im new to programming but how can i prove that am integer is even. cause i need ot make a program the says if the number that was inputed is either even or odd. thanks in advance.
 
Use the modulus (%) operator. If the variable is "int foo" and you want to check that foo is even, here's the snippet of code:

Code:
if(foo%2 == 0) 
   cout << "The number is even \n";
else
   cout << "The number is odd \n";
 
Just thought I'd mention what the modulus operator does, in case you don't already know.

When you divide two integers, the modulus is the remainder that you get. So for example, if you divide any even number by 2, you should get a remainder of 0. That's why you check to see if foo%2 == 0. If the value of foo was odd, the remainder would be 1.

Hope that helps :)
 
so what would the header file be...
modulus.h
im not sure cause i havent learned it yet.
 
No, you don't need any special headers to be included. It's a standard math operator just like +, -, * and /
Just include iostream.h for cout and cin.
 
Code:
#include <iostream.h>

main() {
  int foo;
  cout << "Enter a number: ";
  cin >> foo;
  if(foo%2 == 0)
    cout << "The number is even \n";
  else
    cout << "The number is odd \n";

  return 0;
}

That's it :)
 
I think stdio.h or if not that one then certainly math.h should have it
 
That's right...the math operators are just there for you to use :D

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
