Check if a HexaDecimal number is Even or Odd

Last Updated : 17 Jul, 2022

Given a HexaDecimal number, check whether it is even or odd.
Examples:

Input: N = ABC7787CC87AA
Output: Even

Input: N = 9322DEFCD
Output: Odd

Naive Approach:

Convert the number from Hexadecimal base to Decimal base.
Then check if the number is even or odd, which can be easily checked by dividing by 2.

Time Complexity: O(N)
Efficient approach: Since Hexadecimal numbers contain digits from 0 to 15, therefore we can simply check if the last digit is either '0', '2', '4', '6', '8', 'A'(=10), 'C'(=12) or 'E'(=14). If it is, then the given HexaDecimal number will be Even, else Odd.
Below is the implementation of the above approach.

C++

// C++ code to check if a HexaDecimal
// number is Even or Odd

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

// Check if the number is odd or even
string even_or_odd(string N)
{
    int len = N.size();

    // check if the last digit
    // is either '0', '2', '4',
    // '6', '8', 'A'(=10),
    // 'C'(=12) or 'E'(=14)
    if (N[len - 1] == '0'
        || N[len - 1] == '2'
        || N[len - 1] == '4'
        || N[len - 1] == '6'
        || N[len - 1] == '8'
        || N[len - 1] == 'A'
        || N[len - 1] == 'C'
        || N[len - 1] == 'E')
        return ("Even");
    else
        return ("Odd");
}

int main()
{
    string N = "AB3454D";

    cout << even_or_odd(N);

    return 0;
}

Java

// Java code to check if a HexaDecimal
// number is Even or Odd
class GFG{
 
// Check if the number is odd or even

{
    int len = N.length();
 
    // check if the last digit
    // is either '0', '2', '4',
    // '6', '8', 'A'(=10),
    // 'C'(=12) or 'E'(=14)
    if (N.charAt(len - 1) == '0'
        || N.charAt(len - 1) == '2'
        || N.charAt(len - 1) == '4'
        || N.charAt(len - 1) == '6'
        || N.charAt(len - 1) == '8'
        || N.charAt(len - 1) == 'A'
        || N.charAt(len - 1) == 'C'
        || N.charAt(len - 1) == 'E')
        return ("Even");
    else
        return ("Odd");
}
 
// Driver code
public static void main(String[] args)
{
    String N = "AB3454D";
    System.out.print(even_or_odd(N));
}
