Welcome sympatiko.

Use BB code tags. Your source code must be surrounded with bb code tags. Read How to wrap up source code with bb code tags?

You are near to the solution. Keep it up.

Input a number and if it is odd then make it even.

The request to use code tags has nothing to do with programming ability; code tags are required because all spacing/formatting is stripped out when you do not use them. Your code is unreadable without them, and more important, your asterisk patterns are unreadable because all spaces are stripped without code tags.

[code]
// paste code or pattern here
[/code]

Note the difference (with code tags):

Without code tags:

Please repost using code tags, as explained above. Again, do this to retain spacing. Thanks.
