Check if a number is odd or even in Python

In this tutorial, we are going to see how to check if a number is odd or even in Python. If a number is divisible by 2 without remainder, then it is even. You can calculate the remainder with the modulo % operator like this n%2 == 0. If a number divided by 2 leaves a remainder of 1, the number is odd. You can check this by using n%2 == 1. The code below asks the user to enter any number to check if the current value is even or odd.
