I am trying to sum up the even numbers in my array, but I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I know I need to use "%2" somewhere, but am completely lost. I searched the forums, but all examples were in C++ and not C. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

void sum(const int array[], int count)
 
{
 
  int i;
  int sum = 0;
 
  for (i = 0; i < count; i++){
	if(i % 2 == count)
   sum = sum  + array[i];
  
}
  printf("The sum of the even numbers in the array is - %d",sum);
  printf("\n\n");
   
}

The question is:

do you want to sum up the numbers located at the even subscripts in your array?

or

do you want to add all numbers that are even in your array?

First method:

//stuff

for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
{
      if (i%2 == 0)
          sum += arr[i];
}

second

//stuff
for(int i = 0; i < count; i++)
{
      if (arr[i] %2 == 0)
             sum += arr[i];
}

Hope that helps

Your if statement is almost right, but instead of
if (i % 2 == count) you want if (array[i] % 2 == 0)

The % operator gives the remainder of the the left side divided by the right side, and when you divide an even number by 2 the remainder is zero.

edit:
and KYA beat me to the punch
