Scala control flow program to check even or odd number

Scala Control Flow Exercise-3 with Solution

Write a Scala program to check if a given number is even or odd using if/else statements.

Sample Solution:

Scala Code:

object EvenOddChecker {
  def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
    //val number: Int = 15 // Number you want to check
      val number: Int = 20 // Number you want to check

    if (number % 2 == 0) {
      println(s"The number $number is even.")
    } else {
      println(s"The number $number is odd.")
    }
  }
}

Sample Output:

The number 15 is odd.

 
The number 20 is even.

Explanation:

First we define a variable "number" and assign it a value to check. We use the modulo operator % to check if the remainder of "number" divided by 2 is equal to 0. If the remainder is 0, it means the number is divisible by 2 and hence even. In that case, we print "The number is even." If the remainder is not 0, it means the number is not divisible by 2 and hence odd. In that case, we print "The number is odd."
