Argument for if condition spits out a SyntaxError for my if num % 2 == 0

The only if condition I can think of is in my code below. Can't figure out any other way around it. Can someone help?

Thanks!

even.py 
def even_odd(num):
    if num % 2 == 0
        return True
    else:
        return False

It looks like you just forgot the colon (":") at the end of the "if" line.
