Simple Question

Is there a way to check if an integer is even or odd?I'm a new Java student this, my freshman, semester and am working on a "homework" assignment the TA gave me since I was working on stuff on my own.

If I gave you a number and asked you whether it was even or odd how would you do it?

Obviously, if I could divide it by two evenly. So I guess my next question would be, how do I tell if the number that results is an int or a double.

google % (modulous) and see what that brings up for you.

Luckily integer division produces integers. As the other poster said look up modulus and in two shakes of a lambs tail you're done.
