[Tutor] Find out if a number is even or not

[Roger Merchberger]

Rumor has it that Riumu Kuraku may have mentioned these words:
>[snip]
>Be cool and write your own function for this...
>
>def OddorEven(x):
>a=0
>a=x % 2
>if a ==0:
>     return "Even"
>else:
>     eturn "Odd"

Just to let you know:

The first assignment of 0 to a seems superfluous as you're reassigning it 
in the very next statement; and just to show others a different way of 
coding this...

def OddorEven(x):
   a=x % 2
   if a:
     return "Odd"
   else:
     return "Even"

[[ Oh, and your indentation was a schootch off... ;-) ]]

HTH,
Roger "Merch" Merchberger
