issue on 3rd part of challenge, not sure how to decrement start, also not 100 if my code is correct

Alright, last step but it's a big one.

Make a while loop that runs until start is falsey.

Inside the loop, use random.randint(1, 99) to get a random number between 1 and 99.

If that random number is even (use even_odd to find out), print "{} is even", putting the random number in the hole. Otherwise, print "{} is odd", again using the random number.

Finally, decrement start by 1.

I know it's a lot, but I know you can do it!

import random

start = 5

def even_odd(n_num):
    while start == True:
        n_num = random.randint(1,99)
        new_num = n_num % 2
        if new_num != 0:
            print("{} is odd".format(n_num))
        else:
            print("{} is even".format(n_num))
                #return not % 2 ----- not sure what to do with this pre-inserted code
    else:
        start -1

#while loop                                 >>>
#make a random int call 1-99                >>>
#print if number is even/even_odd           >>>
#decrement start by 1

even_odd(n_num)

The intent of the challenge is to used the function even_odd in a while loop:

import random

start = 5

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

# Make a while loop that runs until start is falsey.
while start:
    # Inside the loop, use random.randint(1, 99) to get a random number between 1 and 99.
    n_num = random.randint(1,99)
    if even_odd(n_num):
        # If that random number is even (use even_odd to find out)...
        # print "{} is even", putting the random number in the hole. 
        print("{} is even".format(n_num))
    else:
        # Otherwise, print "{} is odd", again using the random number.
        print("{} is odd".format(n_num))
    # Finally, decrement start by 1.
    start -= 1
