Can you have a if statement for even/odd?

I would like to have this function check my input matrix if it is an even or odd length and then return a specific value. I'm going to write something more complex for the z_bar later on but this is the just of the function.

function [z_bar]=fnZbar(height)

if length(height)==even

z_bar= 1;

else

z_bar = 2;

end

end

Answer 1

function [z_bar]=fnZbar(height)

j = length(height)/2;

k = j - fix(j);

if k==0

%Even #

z_bar= 1;

else

%Odd #

z_bar = 2;

end

end

Answer 2

n = 1 ;
if ~mod(n,2)
    fprintf('Even\n')
else 
    fprintf('Odd\n')
end

Odd
