How to Separate Numbers Into Odd & Even in Java
An integer number is even if it is exactly divisible by 2; it is odd otherwise. You can write a program in the Java programming language that tests each element in an input array for this property, and separates the elements into separate Collections -- one for even, one for odd.

Store the set of input integers as elements in an array, as in the following sample code:
int[] inputNumbers = {43,543,245,2,56,567,8767,2,-32,41};

Declare two Java Collections to hold even numbers separately from odd ones, as in the following sample code:
List<Integer> outputEven = new ArrayList<Integer>();
List<Integer> outputOdd = new ArrayList<Integer>();
The advantage of using Collections is that, in addition to providing many useful built-in methods, Collections only use memory for as many elements as they contain.

Separate the numbers into the two output Collections by iterating over the input, as in the following sample code:
for (int i: inputNumbers) {
if (i % 2 != 0) {
outputOdd.add(i);
} else {
outputEven.add(i);
}
}
After executing this code, Collections outputEven and outputOdd will contain the even and odd numbers in the input, respectively.
