Here is a hint: The % operator will return the remainder after division by a certain number. For example, if I wanted to see what the remainder after division by 2 is, I would use number%2. Why is this important? Every integer is either even or odd, even numbers will have a remainder of 0 after division by 2. So, if integer%2 == 0 then I know integer is even. See if you can figure the challenge out now that you know this.

I hope this helps!
