i am unable to figure out why i am getting task one is no longer running
from random import randint
start = 5
while start != 5 and start > 0:
a = random.randint(1, 99)
if even_odd(a) == True:
print("{} is even".format(a))
else even_odd(a) == False:
print("{} is odd".format(a))
start = num - 1
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

- when importing a specific function (randint) from a module (random), it should be referenced directly and not with the module name as a prefix
- the function definition
even_odd
needs to be defined before use. Move definition above while loop -
else
should beelif
- the
while
loop never runs sincestart
is 5 andstart != 5
fails. Remove this condition - decrement
start
, notnum
Post back if you need more help. Good luck!!!
