Number Game: Even or Odd I can't figure out what's wrong with my code.

I keep getting: "Bummer! even_odd didn't return the proper answer." I even tried replacing "num" with 6, but that came back wrong too.

even.py 
def even_odd(num):
    num = 6
    if num % 2 == 0:
        return True
    else:
        return False

The value of num will be passed to the function, you won't want to set it yourself inside. There's no way you could predict what value it might have anyway.

Other than that, the code looks good. :+1:
