Coding Problems

Introduction

Hey there, coding club! Are you ready for a juicy coding challenge? Today, we are going to help Pete and Billy divide their watermelon in a very special way. But don't worry, we won't be cutting any real watermelons, only coding our way through this problem. So, put on your coding hats and let's dive in!

The Problem

Pete and Billy have bought a watermelon that weighs w kilos. They want to divide the watermelon into two parts in such a way that each part weighs an even number of kilos. However, the two parts don't have to be equal in weight. Our task is to help them figure out whether this is possible or not.

The input should be a number and the output has to be YES or NO.

here is an example:

input:
8

output:
YES

The Solution

We can solve this problem by using some simple logic. If the weight of the watermelon is an odd number, then it cannot be divided into two even parts. However, if the weight of the watermelon is an even number, then we can divide it into two even parts by simply checking if the weight is divisible by 2.

So, let's implement this logic in Python code:

x = int(input())
if x % 2 == 0 and x > 2: # Check if the weight is even and greater than 2
    print("YES")
else:
    print("NO")

Conclusion

And there you have it, folks! We have helped Pete and Billy divide their watermelon into two even parts using our coding skills. I hope you found this problem to be as fun and juicy as a real watermelon. See you in the next coding challenge!
