Need python code that collects all even numbers separately, odd numbers separately and displaying into two separate totals. The range of numbers is 1-20

I am new to this language and I keep getting syntax errors, invalid statement errors etc.. So it would be great if you can write a description about the code as well.

Thanks in advance.

Python

even_list = []
odd_list = []
li = range(1,21)
for i in range(len(li)):
    if i/2 == 0 :
        even_list.append(li[i])
    else :
        odd_list.append(li[i])
print even_list
print odd_list

This is what I did but i keep on getting invalid syntax and no output

On which line is there an invalid syntax reported?

Member 10540911 22-Jan-14 5:53am

I came up with a different solution. I want to know what the % function does because there are code with that function on the internet and as i am new i have no idea what it means.

The module (%) function returns the remainder of the integer division between two integers.
For example :
9 / 3 = 3 => 9 % 3 = 0 (0 is the remainder of the integer division between 9 and 3)
5 / 2 = 2 => 5 % 2 = 1 (because 5 = (2 * 2) + 1)
