In Python % is not percent

source geralt (pixabay.com)

In Python % does not mean percent.

It is the modulo operator.

The modulo operator does division and returns the remainder.

x = int (input (“give me a number “))
if x % 2 == 1:
     print (x,” is odd”)
else:
     print (x,” is even”)

The prompt “give me a number” is printed on the screen.

The input command returns a string.

The int command turns the string into an integer.

If you divide this number or integer by 2

the modulo operator will return the remainder

which will be either 0 or 1

If it is equal to 1 then the number is odd.

If it is equal to 0 then the number is even.
