Even or odd loop

Well this one os pretty compicated Why is task 1 not passing?

even.py 
import random

start = 5

while True:
    num = random.randint(1, 99)

    if num = even_odd():
        print ("{} is even".format(num))
    else:
        print("{} is odd".format(num))

    start -= 1
else:
    return False

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

  • You´re not passing anything to even_odd(num) but it expects an argument. - if num = even_odd(): -> if even_odd(num):
  • Make a while loop that runs until start is falsey - so -> while start:

This will help you through

import random

start = 5

def even_odd(num):
    return not num % 2

while start:
  num = random.randint(1, 99)
  if even_odd(num):
    print("{} is even".format(num))
  else:
    print("{} is odd".format(num))
  start -= 1
