how can i cheak the number if it even or odd ? Preferably use (rem) if we can

a=5

if rem(a,2)==0

output=even

else

output=odd

end

[Jan]

The code is a good point to start from. What is the wanted output? Maybe:

output = "even";

I do not understand your message. Which problem do you want to solve?

In your code, you set a equal to 5. So, you want your code to "tell" you that that is an odd number. But, what do you want the program to do?

• Output the string "odd"?
• Output the string "a is an odd number"?
• Output the string "5 is an odd number"?

All of these things are easy to do. What do you need?
