Hi Yusuf. Your method it's almost finished, first of all you don't need the user "input" method, the number it should be provided in the method as an argument

def even_odd(number):

From here the if statement it's ok just it's missing the return keyword

if number % 2 == 0:
    return True
else:
    return False

or short version

if number % 2 == 0:
    return True
return False

in this case you don't need to specify the "else" to, the if already taking care to not pass False if the remainder it's 0 Also for best practice use the right spacing between elements 

number % 2 == 0

not

number%2==0

This is still working but for better reading it's better with spacing and also in the future it will not cause headache. I hope it will help you to understand. Happy coding
