We need to refer to the mathematical definition of the word "even."
The most commonly accepted definition is that a number "a" is even if there exists an integer "n" which makes the following statement true:
a = 2 x n
0 is an integer. So let n = 0 in the above equation and we get:
0 = 2 x 0
So 0 satisfies the mathematical definition for being even.
Since 0 is even, it cannot be odd.
