C Program to Check Whether a Number is Odd or Even Number using Switch Case Statement

by
  • Write a C program to check whether it is odd or even number using switch case statement.
  • How to check a number is odd or even in C.

Required Knowledge

Any numbers divisible by 2 are even numbers whereas numbers which are not divisible by 2 are odd numbers. Any even number can be represented in form of (2*N) whereas any odd number can be represented as (2*N + 1). Even Numbers examples: 2, 6 , 10, 12 Odd Number examples: 3, 5, 9 ,15

C program to check a number is Even of Odd using switch case statement

C program to check a number is Even of Odd using switch case statement

#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>  
   
int main() {  
    int num;  
   
    /* Take a number as input from user
  using scanf function */
    printf("Enter an Integer\n");  
    scanf("%d", &num);  
   
    switch(num%2) {     
        /* Even numbers completely are divisible by 2  */ 
        case 0: printf("%d is Even", num);  
                break;  
        /* Odd numbers are not divisible by 2 */ 
        case 1: printf("%d is Odd", num);  
                break;  
    }  
     
    getch();
    return 0;  
}

Output

Enter an Integer
8
8 is Even

Enter an Integer
5
5 is Odd
