Lists Mini Project — Even Numbers

What you're building

A program that takes 6 numbers from the user, stores them in a list, and returns a new list with only the even ones.

The filtering happens inside a function.

What you need to know first

• Lists — creating and appending
• for loops
• input() and int()
• The modulo operator %
• Functions — defining, parameters, return

The brief

Build a program that:

• Asks the user to enter 6 numbers one at a time
• Stores them in a list
• Passes the list to a function called get_even()
• The function returns a new list with only the even numbers
• Prints both lists — the original and the filtered one

Think before you code

• How do you collect 6 inputs and store them in a list?
• How do you check if a number is even?
• How do you build a new list inside a function and return it?
• What should the function return if no numbers are even?

Your starting point

def get_even(numbers):
    # your code here
    pass

numbers = []

for i in range(6):
    num = int(input(f"Number {i + 1}: "))
    numbers.append(num)

even = get_even(numbers)

print(f"\nAll numbers: {numbers}")
print(f"Even numbers: {even}")

Expected output

Number 1: 4
Number 2: 7
Number 3: 12
Number 4: 3
Number 5: 8
Number 6: 15

All numbers: [4, 7, 12, 3, 8, 15]
Even numbers: [4, 12, 8]

Heads up!

• A number is even if number % 2 == 0
• Build a new list inside the function — don't modify the original
• If no numbers are even, the function returns an empty list — that's valid
• The original list should be unchanged after the function runs

The solution

def get_even(numbers):
    even = []
    for num in numbers:
        if num % 2 == 0:
            even.append(num)
    return even

numbers = []

for i in range(6):
    num = int(input(f"Number {i + 1}: "))
    numbers.append(num)

even = get_even(numbers)

print(f"\nAll numbers: {numbers}")
print(f"Even numbers: {even}")
