Nested if question.

[prafiate]

/*program 3.3 using nested ifs to analyze numbers*/
#include <stdio.h>
#include <limits.h>/*for LONG_MAX*/

int main()
{
    
long test = 0L;         /*stores the integer to be checked*/
    printf("Enter an integer less than %ld:", LONG_MAX);
    scanf("%ld", &test);
    
/*test for odd or even by checking the remainder after dividing by 2*/
    
if(test % 2L == 0l)
    {
        printf("The number %ld is even", test);
        
/*now check whether half the number is also even*/
        
if( (test/2L) % 2L == 0L)
        {
            printf("\nHalf of %ld is even", test);
            printf("\nThat's interesting isn't it?\n");
        
else
            printf("\n Half of %ld is odd\n", test);
        }
    }
    
else
        printf("The number %ld is odd\n", test);
}

Im getting and error because it says that the else statement: printf( "\n Half of %ld is odd\n", test); has no matching if. Is there a way I can still keep that else branch nested within the bigger if-else?

Α bracket '}' is missing at line after printf("\nThat's interesting isn't it?\n");
That is what you want?

Actually with a second look i suggest this

int main(void)
{
    
long test = 0L;         /*stores the integer to be checked*/
    printf("Enter an integer less than %ld:", LONG_MAX);
    scanf("%ld", &test);
    
/*test for odd or even by checking the remainder after dividing by 2*/
    
if(test % 2L == 0l)
    {
        printf("The number %ld is even", test);
        
/*now check whether half the number is also even*/
        
if( (test/2L) % 2L == 0L)
        {
            printf("\nHalf of %ld is even", test);
            printf("\nThat's interesting isn't it?\n");
}
        
else
            printf("\n Half of %ld is odd\n", test);
        
    }
    
else
        printf("The number %ld is odd\n", test);
return 0;
}

Is it ok?
