Problem Solution:

In this program, we will create 2 variables and initialize them with some values. Then we will find the created variables contain an EVEN number or not using library function even?().

Program/Source Code:

The source code to check the given number is an EVEN number using the library function is given below. The given program is compiled and executed successfully.

# Ruby program to check the given number is 
# an EVEN number using library function

num1 = 20
num2 = 3

if num1.even?()
    print "num1 is an EVEN number\n";
else
    print "num1 is an ODD number\n";
end

if num2.even?()
    print "num2 is an EVEN number\n";
else
    print "num2 is an ODD number\n";
end

Output:

num1 is an EVEN number
num2 is an ODD number

Explanation:

In the above program, we created two variables num1, num2 and initialized 20, 3 respectively. Then we used the even?() function to check created variables contains the EVEN number or not and printed the appropriate message. The even?() function returns a Boolean value. It returns true when the variable contains an EVEN number, otherwise, it returns false.
