Need help with Even or Odd objective

I've been away for a few weeks, and given that this is my first language and I've only spent one week getting to this point in the python tutorial, I'm a bit rusty.

Well, to be honest I have no idea how to complete this objective...

Here's my code. Feel free to laugh :P

def even_odd(5):
    if 5 == % 2:
        return True
    else:
        return False

even_odd()

So close...

The function takes one argument a number. Also the % operator will equate to '0' if an even number

def even_odd(num):
    if num % 2 == 0:
    # complete the the return

Hope that helps

I’ll try since no one else has.. In def even_add(5) you need a variable name not an int., so that also changes your if statement Then at the bottom where you call it is where you give it a number.
