If you are talking about integers, then the answer is no.

A number is either of the form 2n (even) or of the form 2n + 1 (odd).

This can be seen by adding 1 to each of these numbers:

An even number plus one is of the form 2n + 1 and so, it is odd.

An odd number plus one is of the form (2n+1)+1 = 2(n+1) and hence is even.

For other numbers it does not normally make sense to call them odd or even.

For instance any real number x can be written as x = 2*(x/2) and it would be even.

On the other hand it can also be written as 2*(x-1/2)+1 and it would be odd.

In that sense, all non-integers are neither even nor odd.

What is a number that is neither even nor odd?

Any number that is not an integer is neither even nor odd.For example, decimals such as 8.5, or pi, are neither even nor odd. While the numerator or denominator of a fraction is either even or odd, the fraction is not.Some people mistakenly say that 0 is neither even nor odd. But according to its additive properties, zero is even. The integer 0 is not the same thing as the null set. 0 is the number of elements in the null set. Zero is a number, not a set.Please read the article "Parity of zero" in the Related Links section for a discussion about the misconceptions about the number 0.
