I have to write in C in info class a program that tells if a num is even, odd or is equal to 0. I wrote this :

#include <stdio.h>
int main() 
{
    int num;
    scanf("%d", &num);
    if(num=0)
        printf("The num is %d" ,num);
    if(num % 2 == 0)
        printf("The num %d is even.", num);
    else
        printf("The num  %d is odd.", num);
    return 0;
}

You have used

C++

if(num=0)

instead of

C++

if(num==0)

Edit:
You probably want an else if in there as well

C++

#include <stdio.h>
int main() 
{
    int num;
    scanf("%d", &num);
    if(num==0) {
        printf("The num is %d", num);
    } else if(num % 2 == 0) {
        printf("The num %d is even.", num);
    } else {
        printf("The num  %d is odd.", num);
    }
    return 0;
}
