Need a reminder? The key ideaShow
A comparison gives True or False, so a function can return it.
The worked solution
Have you tried it?
Work it out on paper first. It is fine to get stuck or make a mistake: that is how we learn. When you are ready, compare your working with the solution.
Plan. An even number leaves remainder 0 when divided by 2. The comparison n % 2 == 0 is already True or False, so the function can return it directly.
is_even(14)isTrue.is_even(7)isFalse.
