<p>To choose whether to print even or odd pages, we will use the variable startPage: if it equals 1, odd pages are printed, and if it equals 2 even pages are printed.</p>

<p>Since we have an alternative type of printing, pages are printed in an unusual way. The counter can be called approximately the same as the printing mode alternatePage.</p>

<p>Note that the increment is not going to be useful here. The counter will increase by two, that’s why you should use an entry of the type counter = counter + 2 or the shorter version counter += 2.</p>

<p>Now we’ll add a new printing mode, and in the next task, we will experiment with this mode and switch between printing even and odd pages.</p>
