Ways to speed up code on watermelon
By scriabin, history, 23 months ago, In English 
w = int(input())

if w % 2:
    print("NO")
elif w == 2:
    print("NO")
else:
    print("YES")

here is my code, does anyone have recommendations to make it faster

edit; why the downvotes, where is a place i can discuss my code and figure out improvement.

      If you use pypy, python is enough to solve most, if not all problems on codeforces. I've used mostly python so far (even though I know c++) and it has never failed me. You should only perhaps start worrying about moving to a different language way further down the road.

      As for the speed of your code, it seems good. Maybe a faster approach could be to do w & 1 instead of w % 2, but I think pratically it will rarely make a difference.
