    # If % 2 is 0, the number is even.
    # Since 0 is falsey, we have to invert it with not.

while True:
    random_number = random.randint(1, 99)
    if random_number % 2 = 0.even_odd():

    else:

You're close, but....

  • you need to check the value of start in the while loop or else it will run forever
  • when checking a number for even, just call the function: "if even_odd(random_number):"
