Is 0 an odd or even number? The reason why I ask is this: I need to write cosh(x) as the sum of an even and odd function. I could only come up with cosh(x) = cosh(x) + 0, where cosh(x) would be the even and 0odd. However, this doesn't make any sense since 0 is exactly divisible by 2 with no remainder, hence it is even. So which one is it?
