if x % 2 == 0: I have no idea on this line of code. Any idea?

Hi Chong! Thanks for reaching out! if x % 2 == 0 means that if the remainder of a certain value divided by 2 would be zero, then the condition would be fulfilled. This means the same thing as saying 'if x is even' because values divided by 2 that give a remainder of 0 are 2, 4, 6, 8... 4/2 = 2 6/2 = 3 The remainder is the value that 'remains' when dividing. For instance 5/2 = 2 with a remainder of 1 because 2x2 = 4 and 4+1 gives 5. Or 5 % 2 ==1 Hope this helps. Best, Ivan
