nothing changes in output.
i think mistake in problem.
if we consider case all numbers are odd in odd times
consider 1,1,3
sum of 1+1 is even and add into 3
so it will be 5 answer will be 1.
so that’s why i inserted condition even==0 .
but i analyzed some codes which has correct answer
it shows me answer 2. try yourself.
if i delete even ==0 condition and put condition n==1
i also got correct answer.
There is no mistake in question. because you got this question wrong. They want to say that they chose an arbitrary pair of elements from the sequence such that their sum is even, deleted these two elements from the sequence, and inserted their sum into the sequence. means that if you have an array like [1,1,3], the sum of 1 + 1 is an even number, and you have to add that to the sequence (like [2,3], not as 2 + 3, and the final array is [5]). As a result, the minimum length is 2.
