On task 3 of the final part of Python basics I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

my code runs fine when i run it locally.. however the code challenge is not accepting it

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 :
    num = random.randint(1,99)

    if even_odd(num):
        print('{} is even.'.format(num))
    else:
        print ('{} is odd.'.format(num))
    start -= 1

If you notice in the instructions where it tells you what to print out it didn't have a period after each sentence; you added a period after both of your print statements- just remove those and you should be fine. In these challenges they want you to have the exact output as they have.
