Hi

When I am running below Java program, It does not gives me desired output.

Am wondering what is wrong here?
************************************************** **************
public static void check(){
System.out.println((10 % 100) == 0);
if((10 % 100) == 0){
System.out.println("it is even number");
} else{
System.out.println("this is odd number");
}
}
************************************************** **************
OUTPUT
false
this is odd number
************************************************** **************

Hello, and welcome to the java-forums.

In the past when I've tested for "even-ness", I have usually mod'ed the number by 2, not 100:

int myNumber = 10;
System.out.println("myNumber is even?: " + ((myNumber % 2) == 0));

You're welcome, but more importantly, do you understand why this is so? For a number to be even, it must be evenly divisible by 2, which is the same as saying that the number mod 2 is 0. If the number mod 100 is 0, then the number is a multiple of 100 (i.e., 200, 500, 10323200,...)
