Java Code Example for

even number
import java.util.Scanner; // Import Scanner for user input

public class EvenNumberCheck {


public static void main(String[] args) {
// Create Scanner object to get input from user
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.print("Enter a number: ");


int number = scanner.nextInt(); // Read user input

// Check if the number is even or odd


if (number % 2 == 0) {
System.out.println(number + " is an even number.");
} else {
System.out.println(number + " is an odd number.");
}
scanner.close(); // Close the scanner
}
Explanation of the Code

o Scanner: The Scanner class is used to take user input from the console.

o if Statement: The program checks if the number is divisible by 2:


 number % 2 == 0 checks if the remainder is 0 (even).

 If true, the program prints that the number is even.

 If false, it prints that the number is odd.

o Close Scanner: After using the scanner, it’s good practice to close it to avoid resource leaks.
• The statement public static void main(String[] args) is the entry point of any Java application. Let's break down what each part
means:

• public

 Visibility Modifier: public is an access modifier. It means that this method can be accessed from anywhere, meaning there are
no restrictions on who can call this method.

 In simple terms, public ensures that the main method can be accessed by the Java runtime to start your program.

• static

 Static Keyword: static means that this method belongs to the class, not to any specific instance of the class.

 The Java runtime can call this method without creating an instance (object) of the class. It makes it accessible directly through
the class.

 Since main is static, it can be invoked without creating an object of the class.

• 3. void

 Return Type: void means that this method does not return any value. The main method is simply used to start the program,
• main

 Method Name: main is the name of the method. This is a special method name in Java that the Java Virtual
Machine (JVM) looks for when you run your program.

 The JVM starts execution from the main method in your program.

• 5. String[] args

 Parameter: String[] args is a parameter of type array of Strings.


o String[] means it is an array of Strings. The square brackets [] indicate that it is an array.

• args is a name commonly used to represent command-line arguments that you pass when running the
program. These are typically input values that the user provides when executing the program from the
command line or terminal
