even.py Help

I have been struggling with this one, I'm pretty sure I have it down, but I can't get the if right

even.py 
def even_odd(number):
    even_odd = random.randint(number % 2)
        if ???
            return True
        else:
            return False

Hey John,

I think you might be overthinking this a bit; at no point do you need to use randint in this challenge. You're purely checking to see if number is even, which you can test, as you've written, by using the modulus operator. So you'd need if number % 2 == 0: in your case. I hope this helps!
