= Complex K-theory of an even-cell complex
{c}

If a finite CW-complex $Y$ has only even-dimensional cells, then
$$
K^{-1}(Y)=0
$$
and $K^0(Y)$ is free abelian, with one generator for each cell. This follows by induction from the six-term exact sequence for adjoining a wedge of even-dimensional cells.
