My code keeps saying part 1 not passing but I go back and it does pass
import random
start = 5
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
while start:
ran_num = random.randint(1, 99)
if even_odd(ran_num):
print('{} is even').format(ran_num)
else:
print('{} is odd').format(ran_num)
start -= 1

I assume you have 'return' indented in the challenge. Besides that you need to take the parentheses from just before .format and place them at the end of your print lines. You also need to take your while loop out of the function. Hope this helps, Nakal

12,578 PointsHey, you were nearly there! You needed to add some logic to the even_odd function. You also need to correctly indent your while loop.
import random
start = 5
def even_odd(num):
if num % 2 == 0:
return not num % 2
while start:
rand = random.randint(1, 99)
if even_odd(rand):
print("{} is even".format(rand))
else:
print("{} is odd".format(rand))
start -= 1

12,578 Pointsoh, and your format was in the wrong place.
