even/odd loop question - not sure what's wrong

Hi - can someone please assist with my code below?

Thanks.

import random

start = 5

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

while start:
    int = random.randint(1, 99)
    if even_odd(int):
        print("{} is even".format(int))
    else:
        print("{} is odd".format(int))
    start -= 1

You have the correct idea. This issue is using a built-in keyword int as a variable name. Notice that the challenge editor gives a special color to keywords. Change "int" to "num" or something else and it should pass.

Post back if you have more questions. Good luck!!
