Even.py even or odd loop

Hi! I really don't get what is wrong here...I checked other questions but no solution seems to be working...

Here is my code. Could someone help me understand what is wrong? Thank you:)

even.py 
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

while start:
    z = random.randit(1, 99)
    random_number = even_odd(z)
    if random_number:
        print("{} is even".format(z))
    else:
        print("{} is odd".format(z))

start = start -1

It looks like you have two indention errors and one typo. 

    return not num % 2  # indent to be inside function definition 

    z = random.randint(1, 99)  # typo fixed randit

    start = start -1  # indent to be inside while loop
