How can i write what happens if the argument is odd or even?

I am not so good at this ...

even.py 
def even_odd(int):
    if even:
        return True

    elif odd:
        return False

To figure out if the number given is even or odd use the % Modulus operator this will divide the number and return the remainder. Even numbers won't have a remainder.

def even_odd(number):
    if number % 2 == 0: # Even numbers won't have a remainder....
        return True
    else:
        return False
