Question

I am new to programming (this is my first course). I am taking a course and the text is PHP Programming w/ MySQL. I cannot figure out how to do the last exercise in chapter 1. Exercise 1-6. The problem is this:

Write a script that uses a conditional operator to determine whether

a variable contains a number and whether the number is even. You

need to use the is_numeric() function and the conditional operator.

For fl oating-point numbers, you need to use the round() function to

convert the value to the nearest whole number. Save the document as

IsEven.php.

Thanks

Explanation / Answer

Sorry for the previous answers.. I think this code satisfies all the conditions and works fine if you paste the code as is. try it

<?php

$variable = 4.23; // just some random value

$k = is_numeric($variable)? (round($variable)%2==0 ? "<h1>Given Number is Even</h1>" : "<h1>Given Number is Odd</h1>") : "<h1>Given input is not Numeric</h1>"; // printing the result (Odd)

echo $k;

?>
