Java Number Programs

This Java example code demonstrates a simple Java program that checks whether a given number is an even or odd number and prints the output to the screen.



Program:

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Main {
    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");
        }
    }
}

Program Output:

Enter a number: 8
8 is even

If a number is evenly divisible by 2 without any remainder, then it is an even number; Otherwise, it is an odd number. The modulo operator % is used to check it in such a way as num%2 == 0.

In the calculation part of the program, the given number is evenly divisible by 2 without remainder, so it is an even number.

The above program can also be written using a ternary operator such as:

Java Program to Check Even or Odd Number Using Ternary Operator

Program:

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Main {
    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);
    }
}

Program Output:

Enter a number: 9
9 is odd
