    Help With Collatz Conjecture

    ok,so i started programming yesterday,and im trying to write a code for the collatz conjecture,heres where i am


    Code:
     #include <stdio.h>
    
    int main()
    {
    	int x
    	prinf( "Enter Number" );
    	scanf( "%d", &x );
    now how do i tell it that if x is an even integer,that i want to divide it by 2,im stuck with the even integer part.

    Test the result of the value entered modulus 2 (% is the modulus operator) against 0.

    Code:
    bool is_even(const int number) {
      return number % 2;
    }
