Pls help with code

I am unable to properly understand the question

even.py 
import random
start=5
while(start):
    num=random.randint(1,99)
    def even_odd(num):
            if num%2==0:
                print('{} is even'.format(num))
            else:
                print('{} is odd',format(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=start-1

You code seems to have gotten jumbled. The function even_odd should be kept outside and separate from the while loop. The function will be called as needed from within the while loop.

  • change the if condition to even_odd(num). This returns a True/False result
  • the second format method has a typo: replace preceding comma with a period.

Post back if you have more questions. Good Luck!!
