0 is both even and odd, 0 is neither even nor odd (like infinity or $\pi$) or; 0 is assigned a unique title (like how 1 called a "unit" -- neither prime nor composite). This is a matter of definition, so while you could define 0 to be any of the above, it's best to choose the definition that will be the most consistent with the usage of "even ...

Zero is an even number. In other words, its parity—the quality of an integer being even or odd—is even. The simplest way to prove that zero is even is to check that it fits the definition of "even": it is an integer multiple of 2, specifically 0 × 2.

2017年5月16日 · I have checked the question upon this topic, but everytime the answer is the parity of zero is even because $0\times2=0$, and it is between two odd numbers, $-1,1$. My question is, $0\times\text{(any odd number)}$ is also equal to zero, making the odd number a factor of zero, and thus $0$ could also be said to be odd. Also, the logic that every ...

2017年6月28日 · $\begingroup$ The number of units 1 that make up an integer, define an odd or an even integer. Zero is the absence of any odd or even number of units 1, so 0 is a neutral number, neither an odd or an even number of units 1 make up 0. $\endgroup$ –

2017年7月21日 · Since $0 = 2*0$ ($0$ is an integer), it follows that $0$ is even. You seem to be misunderstanding that an odd number can be divided by $3$, which is not the case (for example $5$ is odd), so there really is no contradiction here. In fact, from the definition of odd numbers, we can deduce that $0$ is not odd.

2021年7月7日 · At present I know that, a constant function is an EVEN function. But my teacher said that if a constant function has value $0$ then it is both EVEN and ODD. I just want to verify this and want know the reason for this.

2023年7月31日 · And for such numbers, we could say that it is odd/even based on the parity of the last digit. The first disadvantage of this definition is that it works only for some numbers. But - perhaps more importantly - it does not have the usual properties of addition, namely: $0.4+0.6=1$ even+even can be odd; $0.3+0.7=1$ odd+odd can be odd;

But OPs original question is odd, since the definitions at the top are essentially the most efficient ways to implement the functions.... $\endgroup$ – Thomas Andrews Commented Dec 20, 2014 at 22:28

2017年11月13日 · Because "even $\times$ odd = 0, even $\times$ even is not necessarily zero"

2014年8月29日 · Proof that the sum of two odd numbers is an even number: An even number is defined as a number that is divisible by 2. An odd number is a number that is not divisible by 2 but is divisible by 1. The reason that two odds are an even is that the difference between odd and even is only 1, and odd numbers are 1 more than even numbers.
