python列表元素偶数之和函数,如何知道列表中元素的数量是偶数还是奇数

How can I find out if there is even, or odd, number of elements in an arbitrary list.

I tried list.index() to get all of the indices... but I still don't know how I can tell the program what is an even and what is an odd number.

You can use the built in function len() for this.

Gets the length (# of elements) of any arbitrary list.

myList = [0,1,2,3,4,5]

if len(myList) % 2 == 0:

print ("even")

else

print ("odd")

Define function that returns a bool (true or false).

def is_even(myList):

if len(myList) % 2 == 0:

return true

else:

return false

main():

myList = [0,1,2,3]

theListIsEven = is_even(myList) # will be true in this example

# because 4 items in myList

if theListIsEven(myList) == True:

# do something

else:

# do something else

return 0

The modulus operator % gives the remainder.

EX: 7 % 2 = 1

Closest number to 7 that 2 will divide evenly is 6

Which is 1 away from 7.

Thus, remainder of 1 for 7 % 2.

EX: 4 % 2 = 0

Any even number n will give 0 as the remainder when n % 2

Because n has divided evenly by 2
