how to check if a number is even in python

Question

How can i check if a number is even in python?

I am  new to programming and I was doing some practice. I wrote a code to check if a number is even in python:

number = int(input("Please enter a number to check"))
if (number % ) == 1
    print("the number is even")

but it gives me an error :

  File "main.py", line 2
    if (number % ) == 1
                 ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

can anyone help me out to sort out this problem?

Answer 1

In your code you have some logic problems . You should correct them. U should use:

if (number % 2) == 0

 And your code should be like:

number = int(input("Please enter a number to check"))
if (number % 2) == 0
    print("{0} the number is even".format(number))

If you use this code you can get accurate result for mgetting even number.
