Even or odd

Hi there, When i try to run my code, the feedback is Task 1 is no longer passing or working. A little help will be appreciated.

Thanks!

even.py 
import random
def even_odd(num):
    # If % 2 is 0, the number is even.
    # Since 0 is falsey, we have to invert it with not.
    return not num % 2
start = 5
while True:
    random_num = random.randint(1, 99)
    for num in random_num:
        if num % 2 = 0:
            print("() is even".format(random_num))
        else:
            print("() is odd".format(random_num))
    start-=1

There seem to be a few issues, here's some hints:

  • the loop should run "until start is falsey", but "while True:" will run forever.
  • you can't have an expression on the left side of an assignment
  • random_num is not an iterable that can be used in a loop
  • you only need one loop for this challenge (the while loop)
  • you can use the provided even_odd function to determine what to print
