589 PointsCalling a random num?
It says that I didn't create a "random_num" function but I think I did. Whats up here?
import random
def random_num(num):
y = randint(1,num)
return y

import random
def random_num(num):
y = random.randint(1,num)
return y
That should do it! (Worked for my test at least)

When you import a module, you need to use the module's name to access any of its methods. For example, if you have a module named math and you want to call the add method, you would need code that looks something like this:
import math
def num_plus_two(num):
return math.add(2, num)
