Answer 3

If you want to check if a number is even or odd, then you have to use modulus operator (%) comparing to 0 remainder.

12 % 2 ---> 0

Since there is no remainder, 2 is a factor of 12, therefore 12 is even.

15 % 2 ---> 1

Since there is a remainder, 15 is not an even number.

number = int(input())
if number % 2 == 0:
print(number ** 2)
else:
print(number ** 3)
