639 PointsIt looks like Task 1 is no longer passing.
can you help me with the code? once I get to step 3 it tells me task 1 not passing, is my code wrong?
import random
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
start = 5
while start > 1:
new = random.randint(1 , 99)
if even_odd(new) is True :
print("{} is even").format(new)
else:
print("{} is odd").format(new)
start -= 1

31,602 PointsHey there,
good job until here! You have two problems in your code now. Firstly you're using the format method on the print function but you have to use it on the string inside of the print function. That's the reason why task 1 no longer passes. The other problem is the condition of your loop because you should execute the loop until 5 becomes 0 (falsey).
If you fix those two issues it should look like this and work:
import random
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
start = 5
while start:
new = random.randint(1 , 99)
if even_odd(new) is True :
print("{} is even".format(new))
else:
print("{} is odd".format(new))
start -= 1
I hope that helps! :)
