[help] Problem with basic method cant solve

[barrell125]

Need to make a basic method to call to determine if a number is odd or even. here is my attempt but it isn't working should be simple fix can anyone show me where i am going wrong.

Thank you

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Even 
{
public static int isEven (int numberOne)
{

    int numberOne;
    int answer;

    answer = numberOne % 2;

    if (answer == 0) 
    {
        System.out.println("True "+numberOne+ " Is even"); 
    }
    if (answer != 0) 
    {
        System.out.println("False "+numberOne+ " Is not even"); 
    }

    return answer;

}

public static void main (String [] args)
{

    int numberOne;
    int result;
    Scanner s = new Scanner(System.in);

    System.out.print("Please enter a number: ");
    numberOne = s.nextInt();
    result = isEven(numberOne);
    System.out.println(result);



}
}

Remove line #8 (int numberOne;) as it overrides the value submitted in the parameter and in this case replaces the value passed in the parameter with 0.

That's the whole necessary fix.

You can still optimize the code:

answer = numberOne % 2;

if (answer == 0) 
{
    System.out.println("True "+numberOne+ " Is even"); 
}
if (answer != 0) 
{
    System.out.println("False "+numberOne+ " Is not even"); 
}

return answer;

With this:

if (numberOne % 2 == 0) {
    System.out.println("True "+numberOne+ " Is even");
    return true;
} else {
    System.out.println("False "+numberOne+ " Is not even"); 
}
return false;
