How would I create a function that determines if a specific value is odd?

Hi Reagan,

As your function is called "is_odd" you should probably return a boolean (true or false).

Your current function will fail with a type error if passed an integer, and if passed a string will concatenate it, prepending 2 and appending 5.

How do we know if a number is even or odd? We need a rule for one or the other so that we can seperate our numbers into those that meet the rule and those that don't.

All even numbers are divisible by 2 with no remainder, and no odd numbers are, so that works. We can use the modulo operator to check if the remainder after division is 0.

def is_odd(number):
        if number % 2 == 0:
                return False
        else:
                return True

Hope that helps,

Eric
