What's wrong with line 4? Also do you see anything else that needs work?

Question

Can you please help me?

even.py

import random
def even_odd(num):
    start = 5  
while 5 = True:
    random.randint(, 99)
    start -= 1
if return not num % 2:
    print("{} is even".format(num))
else:
    print("{} is odd".format(num))

There are a number of issues on that line:
- you can't assign something to a number
- the assignment("=") was probably intended to be a comparison ("==")
- a number will never equal the boolean value True
- the loop should be checking the value of "start" instead of a fixed number
- when checking a value for "truthiness" you just name it and not compare it to anything
Some other hints for this challenge:
- don't modify the provided "evenodd" function
- but you can _call the function to test your numbers
- do all the new work outside of the function
- be sure to give "randint" two arguments
- everything that is part of a loop body must be indented more than the loop itself
