Challenge 2: Check Parity of a Number
In this challenge, you have to calculate the parity of a number.
We'll cover the following
Parity is a term to express if a given integer is even or odd.
Problem Statement
Given a checkParity(n)
function, write code to determine if a given number n
is even or odd. Think of this as a function that returns 0 if the number is even, and 1 if it is odd. You have been given some starter code where the function and return statement have already been written, so don’t worry about any Python-specific details about functions; just implement the function logic!
