Check if a number is odd or even in Python [duplicate]

问题描述：

I'm trying to make a program which checks if a word is a palindrome and I've gotten so far and it works with words that have an even amount of numbers. I know how to make it do something if the amount of letters is odd but I just don't know how to find out if a number is odd. Is there any simple way to find if a number is odd or even?

Just for reference, this is my code:

a = 0

while a == 0:
    print("
 
" * 100)
    print("Please enter a word to check if it is a palindrome: ")
    word = input("?: ")

    wordLength = int(len(word))
    finalWordLength = int(wordLength / 2)
    firstHalf = word[:finalWordLength]
    secondHalf = word[finalWordLength + 1:]
    secondHalf = secondHalf[::-1]
    print(firstHalf)
    print(secondHalf)

    if firstHalf == secondHalf:
        print("This is a palindrom")
    else:
        print("This is not a palindrom")


    print("Press enter to restart")
    input()
