Hello guys. What is wrong here? Probably i didit get the Task correctly ?

import random

start = 5 def even_odd(): rund_num = random.randint(1, 99) num = rund_num % 2 return not num % 2

while start > 0: num = even_odd() if num == 0: print("{} is even".format(num)) else: print("{} is odd".format(num)) start -= 1

even.py 
import random

start = 5
def even_odd():
    rund_num = random.randint(1, 99)
    num = rund_num % 2
    return not num % 2

while start > 0:
    num = even_odd()
    if num == 0:
        print("{} is even".format(num))
    else:
        print("{} is odd".format(num))
    start -= 1

:point_right: You have a few issues here:

  • you should create a random number in your loop
  • you should not modify the provided even_odd function
  • you can use the provided function to test your random number
  • when testing a boolean, you don't need to compare it to anything (it's already "true" or "false)
  • you can determine if "start is falsey" by testing it as you would a boolean
