I am lost on this one
import random
start=5
def even_odd(num):
# If % 2 is 0, the number is even.
if num%2=0:
# Since 0 is falsey, we have to invert it with not.
return not num % 2
print('{} is even'.format(num))
else:
print('{} is odd'.format(num))
while start is True:
num=random.randint(1,99)
return num
even_odd(num)
start-=1

You did not need to change the function even_odd. Put it back to the way it was.
Remove the line return num
Create an if condition.
if even_odd(num):
print(.....)
else:
print(.....)
start-=1
