18,815 Pointseven_odd exercise - why isn't this working? It works in Workspaces
I have created the following code for the even_odd exercise. When I put this though Workspaces it works fine. However, when I submit this as my answer the challenge doesn't like it. What's wrong? Thank you for any help.
def even_odd (num1):
num1 = num1 % 2
if num1 == 0:
print('True')
else:
print('False')
even_odd(5)

Treehouse TeacherYour code is functional, but it isn't precisely what they asked you to do. They ask you to return the value true or false... not print it. If I switch out your print statement with return statements and return a boolean instead of a string, it passes! Take a look:
def even_odd (num1):
num1 = num1 % 2
if num1 == 0:
return True
else:
return False
even_odd(5)

Treehouse TeacherYou're quite welcome! Remember, if you're sure your logic is sound... read the instructions again. We've all fallen victim to that sort of thing :)
