    Just learning, problem with an excercise.

    I have to do a program that evaluates if the digits of a number are alternatingly evens and odds. Example = 23232, 1234, 9634, etc.

    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    
    int main()
    {
    	int a;
    	int cont=0;
    	printf("Ingrese un entero :");
    	scanf("%i",&a);
    	
    	int temp=a;
    	
    	while(temp>0)
    	{
    		temp=temp/10;
    		cont++;
    	}
    	
    	printf("\n Número de dígitos : %d",cont);
    	
    	int arr[cont], dig=(temp%10), i=0;
    	temp=a;
    	
    	while (i<cont){
    		if (dig%2==0){
    		arr[i]=0;
    		i++;
    		temp=temp/10;
    		dig=temp%10;}
    		
    		else if (dig%2!=0){
    			arr[i]=1;
    			i++;
    			temp=temp/10;
    			dig=temp%10;}
    		}
    		
    	i=0;
    	int t=(i+1), alter;
    	
    	while (i<cont){
    		if (arr[i]!=arr[t]){
    			alter=1;
    			i++;
    			t++;}
    		
    		else{
    			alter=0;
    			i++;
    			t++;}
    		}	
    	
    	if (alter==1)
    		printf ("\n El número sí es alternante");
    	else
    		printf ("\n El número no es alternante");
    		
    		i=0;    // I did this to see if it detection of even or odds worked right
    		while (i<cont){
    			printf ("\n %i (0=par, 1=impar)", arr[i]);
    			i++;
    		}			
    }
    The problem is that in this part:
    Code:
    while (i<cont){
    		if (dig%2==0){
    		arr[i]=0;
    		i++;
    		temp=temp/10;
    		dig=temp%10;}
    		
    		else if (dig%2!=0){
    			arr[i]=1;
    			i++;
    			temp=temp/10;
    			dig=temp%10;}
    		}
    The first digit to enter will always be taken as an even one, and I don't know why.

    Because when you do dig = temp%10, temp is 0, and 0%10 is 0, which coincidentally is even.
