I need help writing a function that checks if a number is even or odd in Matlab.

Write a function that would decide whether a number is even or odd. The function will take input n and display on the command window either “even” or “odd”.

function [] = EvenOrOdd(n)

•  note that the function EvenOrOdd does not have a return value.
•  To display a string on the command window use disp(‘text’)
•  The function Mod(X,Y) returns the modulus after dividing X by Y

this is my work:

x=input ('value');

if mod(x,2)

disp('odd')

else

disp('even')

end

Help me please?

What part were you hoping for assistance with?

The notes nearly give away the entire code.

I want to know how to write the code actually

Answer 1

[Azzi Abdelmalek]

You can use mod function

mod(yournumber,2)

[Alnuaimi]

But how will i include the strings?

[Azzi Abdelmalek]

The answer is in your question

disp('text')

[Alnuaimi]

Omg that's true xD thanks a lot

[Alnuaimi]

I actually tried it this way and it didn't work:

x=input ('value');
if mod(x,2)
  disp('odd')
else
  disp('even')
end

what should i do? this is my whole code

[Azzi Abdelmalek]

Your code works fine

[Manjinder Singh]

function tf = is_it_odd(n)
    if 1 == rem(n,2)
       tf = true;
    else
  tf = false;
end

[Walter Roberson]

is_it_odd = @(n) rem(n,2) == 1;
