If x is an int and the original value of x is 5, what statement would assign an even value to x?
x += 1
x *= 2
x -= 1
and lots of others
To assign an even value to the integer variable x, you can use the modulus operator (%) to check if the original value of x is odd or even. Here's how you can do it in Python:
1. Start by initializing x with the original value:
```
x = 5
```
2. Use an if statement along with the modulus operator to check if x is odd or even:
```
if x % 2 == 0:
# x is already even, no need to assign a new value
pass
else:
# x is odd, so assign a new even value
x = x + 1
```
In the above code, the condition `x % 2 == 0` checks if x divided by 2 leaves a remainder of 0, which indicates that x is even. If the condition is true, it means x is already even and no further action is needed. Otherwise, it means x is odd, so we add 1 to make it even.
Alternatively, you can also use the shorthand notation `x += 1` instead of `x = x + 1` to increment x by 1:
```
x += 1
```
This statement is equivalent to `x = x + 1`.
After the code execution, x will have an even value assigned to it.
