Checking odd/even numbers and changing outputs on number size

Giving you the complete answer would have no point at all since this is homework, so here are a few pointers :

Even or Odd:

number % 2 == 0

definitely is a very good way to find whether your number is even.

In case you do not know %, this does modulo which is here the remainder of the division of number by 2. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modulo_operation

Printing the pyramid:

First advice: In order to print *****, you can do print "*" * 5.

Second advice: In order to center the asterisks, you need to find out how many spaces to write before the asterisks. Then you can print a bunch of spaces and asterisks with print " "*1 + "*"*3
