My code is working in the workspace, but not in the test. Could you help?

I'm defining a function random_num that takes in an integer, and returns a random integer between 1 and the passed in integer. I'm calling random.randint to get the number.

random_num.py 
import random

def random_num(maxNumber):
  randomNumber = random.randit(1,maxNumber)
  return randomNumber

Looks like it's just a typo:

# random.randit -> random.randint
randomNumber = random.randint(1,maxNumber)
