I did everything treehouse told me but it's telling me that task number 1 is no longer passing!
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 True:
random_num = random.randit(1, 99)
if even_num(random_num):
print("{} is even".format(random_num))
else:
print("{} is odd".format(random_num))
start = start-1

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
# you are asked to have the loop run until the start var is falsey
while start:
# fix typo from random.randit() to random.randint()
random_num = random.randint(1, 99)
# fix typo from even_num() to even_odd()
if even_odd(random_num):
print("{} is even".format(random_num))
else:
print("{} is odd".format(random_num))
start -= 1
