I really dont understand what this task is asking me to do....code challenge[solved]

I really dont have an idea of what this task is asking me to do. I had a go at it but I keep getting 'Oops! it looks like Task 1 is no longer passing'. I then click on 'Go to task One', it passes without any additional changes and then I come back, change things and it does the same again.

Could someone please help me out. I apologise in advance if my novice code brings pain to your eyes

kind regards

even.py 
import random 
start = 5
def even_odd(num):
    If % 2 is 0:
        return num % 2
    elif not %2 is 0:    
        return not num % 2

while not start == 0:
    number = random.randint(1, 99)
    if even_odd(number) == num % 2:
        print('{} is even'.format(number))
    elif even_odd(number) == not num % 2:
        print('{} is odd'.format(number))
    start-=1

Dont worry guys, I finally figured it out. It seems though to pass some of these code challenges you have to figure out all the errors by first testing your code in the treehouse workspace. Here is my solution:

import random 
start = 5


def even_odd(num):
    if num % 2 == 0:
        return True
    elif not num % 2 == 0:
        return False
while not start == 0:
    start-=1
    number = random.randint(1, 99)
    if even_odd(number):
        print('{} is even'.format(number))
    elif not even_odd(number):
        print('{} is odd'.format(number))

Do let me know if you see any improvements that could be made

kind regards
