Pulling Even numbers from an array

My assignment was to create a function where it had to count the number of even numbers in the array given and display the count if there were even numbers. This is what I have so far....

function [] = script28_gina_barlage(M)
sum_total = 0;
string1 = ['There are ' num2str(sum_total) ' even numbers.'];
%
for ii = M
    if mod(ii,1)==2 & any(ii== M)
        sum_total = sum_total + 1;
        disp(string1)
    else
        sum_total = sum_total;
        disp('There are no even numbers.')
    end
end

I am not sure how to pull out the even numbers. Right now it just repeats 'There are no even numbers.' however many numbers are in the array times.

Close, but you need to mod with 2, not 1, and don't display the total until you're done with the loop:

M = randi(9, 1, 20)
sum_total = 0;
for ii = M
    if mod(ii, 2)== 0
        sum_total = sum_total + 1;
        fprintf('%d is even.\n', ii);
    end
end
message = sprintf('There are %d even numbers.', sum_total);
uiwait(helpdlg(message));

Hers is a simple vectorized function:

function [] = script28_gina_barlage(M)
X = nnz(mod(M(:),2)==0);
if X==0
    fprintf('There are no even numbers\n')
else
    fprintf('There are %d even numbers\n',X)
end

and tested:

>> script28_gina_barlage([1,2,3,4,5])
There are 2 even numbers
>> script28_gina_barlage(1:2:11)
There are no even numbers
>> script28_gina_barlage(2*ones(4))
There are 16 even numbers
