Please /g/ help me comprehend

num = input("Enter a number: ")
mod = int(num) % 2
if mod > 0:
print("You picked an odd number.")
else:
print("You picked an even number.")

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Why Is It that the number chosen through input divided by 2 has to be greater than 0 to be considered an odd number. 8 divided by 2 Is four, which Is an even number. Could someone explain why this Is?

It is not input divided by 2. It's input MODULO 2. Modulo (or mod) is the remainder from division.

Any even number divided by 2 will have a remainder of 0.
Any odd number divided by 2 will have a remainder of 1.

So in your example, 8%2 = 0 (8/2=4 Reminder = 0)

But 7%2 =1 ( 7/2 = 3 Reminder = 1)
