Beginner Python syntax error

I'm trying to do a random number generator in Python, but I keep getting a syntax error in line 4. Any ideas? Thank you in advance!!!

import random

for x in range(10): print random.randit(1,101)

why you 're running loop to generate random number ?

import random

x = random.randint(0, 10) print(x)

it is easier for people to help you if you share the code rather than as text

print("This is easier to read")

look at the markdown cheatsheet linked below for how to use it

Your print syntax is Python 2 and I'm assuming you're running this with Python 3. In Python 3 print requires (). Also randint is spelled wrong. So it should be:

import random

for x in range(10): 
    print(random.randint(1, 101))
