You just need to create the method here; don't worry yourself about declaring variables outside of the method.
You want to return True if a number is even. To test for this, use the mod operator, the % symbol. An even number will give zero with a_number % 2. The a_number variable is passed into the method as a parameter; you don't need to declare it outside of the method.
So, that gives us an if clause:
if a_number % 2 == 0:
return True
This is mutually exclusive, so the else: part writes itself; there can only be two outcomes:
if a_number % 2 == 0:
return True
else:
return False
Now we just need to put that in a method that takes a parameter (and sort the indenting):
def even_odd(a_number):
if a_number % 2 == 0:
return True
else:
return False
That should do it for you!
Steve.
