hello , could some one can tell me what's wrong with my loop

Question

i got the result i was waiting for in the console but maybe i miss something.

even.py

import random
def even_odd(num):
    start = 5
    # If % 2 is 0, the number is even.
    # Since 0 is falsey, we have to invert it with not.
    while start:
        number = random.randint(1, 99)
        if number % 2 == 0:
            print("{} is even").format(number)
        else:
            print("{} is odd").format(number)
        start = start -1
    return not num % 2

Your print statements need to be formatted correctly.

The while loop needs to be out dented and outside of the function to work correctly.

The start = 5 needs to be outside the function as stated in section 2 of 3 of this challenge.

import random

start = 5

def even_odd(num):
    return not num % 2

while start:
    random_number = random.randint(1,99)
    if random_number % 2 == 0:
        print("{} is even".format(random_number))
    else:
        print("{} is odd".format(random_number))
    start -= 1

But overall you have all the code you need on the page it just needs to be re organized. :)
