Note: For all integers k,n it is
true that kn, k+n, and k-n are integers. An integer k is even if and only if
there exists an integer r such that k=2r. An integer k is odd if and only if
there exists an integer r such that k=2r+1.
For every integer k it is true that if k is even then k is not odd.
For every integer k it is true that if k is odd then k is not even.
