Find The Odd Number(Python Solution)

To solve for the odd number in a list of numbers which would be in the python programming language, we use the following approach:

1. Define the list of numbers to be sorted through.
2. Make use of a for loop to iterate over the list of numbers defined.
3. Using the modulo operator "%", divide a number by 2 and if a remainder of 1 arises, the number divided is an odd number.
4. In the case of an odd number, print the number.

An example of this would be below:

numbers = [2,4,3,8,9,15,11,5,1,6,8,7


for number in numbers:
	if number % 2 == 1:
? ? 	print(number)]        

The result of the above code would be 3, 9,15,11,5,1,7.

Another way to achieve this result would be to use a list comprehension.

This would be

odd_numbers = [number for number in numbers if number % 2 == 1]        

Doing this would result in a new list called that contains only the odd numbers in the numbers list.
