I am trying to check if a number is even or odd which returns a string. I wrote the code but when i run, after i enter the number nothing happens.
Java
import java.util.Scanner;

public class Demo {
	public static void main(String[] args) {

		Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);

		System.out.print("Enter a number: ");
		int number = in.nextInt();
		evenOdd(number);

	}

	public static String evenOdd(int n) {
		String s = "";

		if (n % 2 == 0) {
			s = n + " is an even number";
		} else {
			s = n + " is an odd number";
		}

		return s;

	}

}


What I have tried:

Writing the method body, and after calling the method in my main, nothing happens after i enter the number.

Nothing happens, because you do not print the output of evenOdd to the console.
Java
System.out.print(evenOdd(number));

instead of only evenOdd(number) should work. Or you can make sure that it prints in evenOdd instead of returning the output, that's also an option.
