Question:medium

The code given below accepts five numbers and displays whether they are even or odd: 
Observe the following code carefully and rewrite it after removing all syntax and logical errors. 
Underline all the corrections made.

Show Hint

Always check for syntax errors (e.g., missing colons or parentheses) and ensure the correct operators are used for logical conditions (e.g., `%` for even/odd checks).

Solution and Explanation

Initial Code:
def EvenOdd()
    for i in range(5):
        num=int(input("Enter a number"
        if num/2==0:
            print("Even")
        else:
            print("Odd")
EvenOdd()
    
Refined Code:
def EvenOdd():  # Colon added to function definition
    for i in range(5):  # No modification
        num = int(input("Enter a number: "))  # Colon and closing parenthesis added to input
        if num % 2 == 0:  # Division '/' replaced with modulus '%' for parity check
            print("Even")  # No modification
        else:
            print("Odd")  # No modification
EvenOdd()  # No modification
    
Modifications Implemented:
  • A colon : was appended to the function definition def EvenOdd().
  • The incomplete input statement was rectified to input("Enter a number: ") by adding a colon and closing the parenthesis.
  • The condition for checking even numbers was updated from if num / 2 == 0 to if num % 2 == 0 by substituting the division operator / with the modulus operator %.
