Can anyone help me??

I don't understand what i have done wrong! It errors saying that Task one is no longer valid

i dont see how what i have written invalidates the import of the random library??

Any help would be gratefully received!

I attach my code to the post!

even.py 
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 = True:
    random_number = random.randint(1,99)
    if even_odd(random_number) == True:
        print("{} is even".format(random_number))
    else:
        print("{} is odd".format(random_number))

    start -=1

Hi there,

If you change the while condition to start > 0 your code is fine.

Steve.
