Just have a run through on the modulus operator %

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

Great job! While your code passes, please recognize that an expression that yields a True or False value can be returned directly.

# instead of
if (number % 2) == 0:
    return True
else:
    return False

# return the result of the condition directly
return (number % 2) == 0
