perform the following tasks:
(a) Display all the numbers ending with the digit 5.
(b) Count those numbers ending with 0 (zero).

Q3. Write a program to input a number and count the number of digits. The program further checks whether the
number contains odd number of digits or even number of digits.
Sample Input: 749
