   public static void main(String args[ ] ) {

       

       //Test the method isEven using numbers 5 and 6 as arguments

   }

   

   //Method isEven

   //Method has a return type of boolean since it returns true or false.

   //Method has an int parameter

   public static boolean isEven(int number){

       //A number is even if its modulus with 2 gives zero

      if (number % 2 == 0){
