Create Even Number Validator Function

Introduction

In this challenge, engineers need to create a function that can quickly identify and sort even-numbered components from a production line in a manufacturing quality control system. The function should take an integer as input and return 1 if the number is even, or 0 if the number is odd. The implementation should use the modulo operator to determine evenness, and the function should be tested with different numbers.

Create Even Number Validator Function

In a manufacturing quality control system, engineers need a reliable method to quickly identify and sort even-numbered components from a production line, ensuring efficient sorting and processing.

Tasks

• Create a function named is_even_number that takes an integer as input
• The function should return 1 if the number is even, or 0 if the number is odd
• Implement the function using modulo operator to determine evenness
• Modify the main() function to test your implementation with different numbers

Requirements

• Create the function in the file ~/project/even_number_validator.c
• Use the function name is_even_number
• Function must accept an integer parameter
• Return type must be int
• Use the modulo operator % to check for evenness
• Test the function with at least three different numbers in main()

Examples

Compile and run the program to test the function with different numbers.

gcc even_number_validator.c -o even_number_validator
./even_number_validator

Example function calls and expected outputs:

is_even_number(4)  // Returns 1
is_even_number(7)  // Returns 0
is_even_number(0)  // Returns 1

Hints

• Use the modulo operator % to check if a number is divisible by 2
• A number is even if it can be divided by 2 with no remainder
• Remember that 0 is considered an even number
• Use comparison number % 2 == 0 to determine evenness

Summary

In summary, this challenge requires the creation of a function that can efficiently identify even-numbered components in a manufacturing quality control system. The function should take an integer as input and return 1 if the number is even, or 0 if the number is odd, using the modulo operator to determine evenness. The implementation must be tested with various numbers to ensure its correctness.
