I'm really new to python, and I'm having trouble with the code

def even(num):
    if num % 2 == 0:
        return "Even"
    else:
        return "Odd"

one = input("Number: ")
print(even(one))

I want it to ask the user for a number, then print if it's even or odd, but every time I execute the program and type in a number it gives me an error. Any ideas on what I'm missing or doing wrong? Much appreciated. Thanks.

input returns str object and you are trying to act with it like it has type int, just cast user input

one = int(input("Number: "))

Your code run without problem in python2.x. In python3.x, you need to update your code to this 

def even(num):
    if num % 2 == 0:
        return "Even"
    else:
        return "Odd"

one = int(input("Number: ")) # here is the update
print(even(one))

  • It should be mentioned, that `input` on Python 2 will lead to severe security problems. So the code for Python 2 should look like: `one = int(raw_input("Number: "))` – Matthias Apr 26 '17 at 07:19
