I think the testing AI is falsey ;p It's telling me that Task 1 is no longer passing. I can't see why.

Hi Lucas,

I think the main issue is using the .append() method on a string. You want to interpolate the value of the random number into the string; you've done the {} bit! So you need to call the .format() method to do that for you.

You can take the temporary variable out too, but that's not what's failing the challenge.

I came up with this:

while start:
    num = random.randint(1, 99)
    if even_odd(num):
        print("{} is even".format(num))
    else:
        print("{} is odd".format(num))
    start -= 1

I hope that helps,

Steve.

Two issues:

1> in while loop, you meant to write, "random"

2> append method belongs to lists, you want to use format() here.

For more details, look into the code.

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:
    rnum = random.randint(1, 99)
    result = even_odd(rnum)
    if result is True:
        print("{} is even".format(rnum))
    else:
        print("{} is odd".format(rnum))

    start -= 1

Also, when you get an error, #previous_task not passing anymore, its just that there are syntax error in the new code.
