Courses Plus Student 906 PointsOdd Even loop
Challenge Task 3 of 3
Alright, last step but it's a big one. Make a while loop that runs until start is falsey. Inside the loop, use random.randint(1, 99) to get a random number between 1 and 99. If that random number is even (use even_odd to find out), print "{} is even", putting the random number in the hole. Otherwise, print "{} is odd", again using the random number. Finally, decrement start by 1.
I'm getting Wrong number of prints error. What am I doing wrong?
import random
start = 5
while start is True:
def even_odd(num):
num = random.randint(1,99)
if num % 2 == 0:
print("{} is even".format(num))
else:
print("{} is odd".format(num))
start - 1

Courses Plus Student 906 PointsThank you but that can't be the answer since at the end of the instructions it says "Finally, decrement start by 1." 4 is still greater than 0 and still less than 6. I don't see how your code helps. I could be wrong, but I don't see it.

1,762 Pointsoh yes, what about start -1 TO start-=1

Courses Plus Student 906 PointsBut!! It is a loop so I stand corrected! So it could just decrease by one until it was lower than 0.
