Task 1 no longer passing?

I don't know what happened, the code seems fine to me but for some reason, it says that task one is not passing even thought the import random code line is there!

even.py 
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 ! = 0:
    test = random.randint(1, 99)
    if not even_odd(test):
        print("{} is even".format(test))
    else:
        print("{} is odd".format(test))
    start -= 1

Hey Abhishek,

I corrected the following two lines and your code passed:

while start != 0: #Remove space between ! and = 

if even_odd(test): #Remove 'not' keyword

Let me know how it goes!
