anyone advice this code for me.I am not sure what wrong about my code.It doesn't work.I thing that should be work.

even.py 
import random

start = 5

while start:
    num = random.randint(1, 99)
    def even_odd(num):
        # If % 2 is 0, the number is even.
        if num % 2 == 0:
            print("{} is even.".format(num))
        # Since 0 is falsey, we have to invert it with not.
        else:
            print("{} is odd.".format(num))
        return not num % 2
    start -= 1

Hi there! I see you completed the first two steps without problem However, you are not following the instructions of the challenge in the third step. Here is a quote from the instructions:

Make a while loop that runs until start is falsey.

There is currently no while loop in your code. Here's another hint :bulb:. The even_odd function provided by Treehouse should not be altered at all. You're supposed to call the even_odd function from within the while loop and use the result to determine what to print. Give it another shot with these tips in mind :smiley:

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
