#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

// Function to convert and validate the input string
// Source: ChatGPT
NSInteger convertAndValidateInput(NSString *inputString) {
    NSScanner *scanner = [NSScanner scannerWithString:inputString];
    NSInteger integerValue = 0;

    // Check if the scanner successfully scanned an integer
    if ([scanner scanInteger:&integerValue] && [scanner isAtEnd]) {
        return integerValue;
    } else {
        // Raise an exception for invalid input
        @throw [NSException exceptionWithName:@"InvalidInputException"
            reason:@"Input is not a valid integer"
            userInfo:nil];
    }
}

int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
    NSAutoreleasePool * pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
    NSString *usage = @"Usage: please input a number";

    if (argc < 2) {
        printf("%s\n", [usage UTF8String]);
    }
    else {
        NSString* inputStr = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:argv[1]];
        @try {
            int input = (int)convertAndValidateInput(inputStr);
            int remainder = input % 2;
            if (remainder == 0) {
                printf("Even\n");
            }
            else {
                printf("Odd\n");
            }
        }
        @catch (NSException *) {
            printf("%s\n", [usage UTF8String]);
        }
    }

    [pool drain];
    return 0;
}
