// Even or Odd using Conditional Operator
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    // Step 1: Declare an integer variable to store the user's number.
    int number;
    // Step 2: Declare a character pointer to store the result string ("Even" or "Odd").
    const char *result_string;

    // Step 3: Prompt the user to enter an integer.
    printf("Enter an integer: ");
    // Step 4: Read the integer from the user.
    scanf("%d", &number);

    // Step 5: Use the conditional operator to determine if the number is even or odd.
    // The condition (number % 2 == 0) is evaluated.
    // If true, "Even" is assigned to result_string.
    // If false, "Odd" is assigned to result_string.
    result_string = (number % 2 == 0) ? "Even" : "Odd";

    // Step 6: Print the number and the determined result string.
    printf("%d is an %s number.\n", number, result_string);

    return 0;
