Hi,
I wonder if something wrong with my code or if it's a problem with the website. Nobody seems to have meet specifically that. It happens with me on the challenge odd/even in the last part of the Python course. I do the first two parts but when i check the last part, it doesn't pass. The odd thing is that the message says the part 1 is not valid anymore and it was just adding a random. I didn't erase so i don't understand at all what happens.
My code :
#part 1
import random
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
#part 2
start=5
#part 3
while start:
num=random.radint(1,99)
if even_odd(num):
print("{} is even".format(num))
else:
print("{} is odd".format(num))
start-=1

num=random.radint(1,99)
has a typo. It should be randint.
A new syntax error causes all tasks to fail checking hence the message.

8,163 Pointsto Chris: Thank you for your answer. Unfortunatly even with randint() well written, i've got the same error. There must be another mistake somewhere. If i manage to properly write code on a question before finding a solution, i will ask again with my new version.
to Jason: Thank you and sorry for all that.

8,163 PointsWell, something else was badly written in my last version. It passed. Thank you again.

Treehouse Moderator 68,423 PointsYour code with the typo fixed passes the Even or Odd Loop challenge:
#part 1
import random
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
#part 2
start=5
#part 3
while start:
num=random.randint(1,99) # fixed typo
if even_odd(num):
print("{} is even".format(num))
else:
print("{} is odd".format(num))
start-=1

8,163 PointsYes, i said it on the commentary a little while after my answer. I had added others typos when i rewrited the code. I wasn't focused enough. Thank you !
