Yeah, this one is a little weird

They wanted you to put the while loop outside of the even_odd function and use that function in your while loop to evaluate if the number is even.

You code would look like this in that case.

import random

start = 5

def even_odd(num):
    return not num % 2

while start > 0: 
    rand_num = random.randint(1, 99) 
    if even_odd(rand_num):   # Using the function here rather than checking ourself.
        print("{} is even".format(rand_num)) 
    else: 
        print("{} is odd".format(rand_num))
    start -= 1

Good work with the while loop though. It was spot on! :)

i am sorry.

Python Python Basics Letter Game App Even or Odd Loop Cahallenge.

''' 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. while start > 0: rand_num = random.randint(1, 99) if rand_num % 2 == 0: print("{} is even".format(rand_num)) else: print("{} is odd".format(rand_num))

start -= 1
return not num % 2
