3,120 PointsI don't understand the question really...
I suppose I don't understand the question. I thought I was following the directions.
import random
def even_odd(num):
# If % 2 is 0, the number is even.
# Since 0 is falsey, we have to invert it with not.
start = 5
while true:
random_int = int(random.randint(1,99))
if random_int % 2 == 0:
print("{} is even".format(random_int))
else:
print("{} is odd".format(random_int))
start -= 1
return not num % 2

16,594 Points- when start gets to 0 it will be false
- you can leave the even odd function just like it is
- your solution works if you make True false at the end point
- True needs to be capitalized if you use it
- your solution passes w/o the even odd function
- I think your indents were off
- yes this challenge can be a bit confusing
import random
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
start = 5
while start: # Make a while loop that runs until start is falsey
num = random.randint(1, 99) # Inside the loop, use random.randint(1, 99)
if even_odd(num): # If that random number is even (use even_odd to find out)
print("{} is even".format(num)) # putting the random number in the hole
else: # Otherwise
print("{} is odd".format(num)) # again using the random number
start -= 1 # Finally, decrement start by 1
