Not sure why list isn't as long as it should be

I'm trying to generate a list of questions, but for some reason my list only returns length 2. Any idea why it's not appending all 10?

import random

from questions import Add, Multiply

questions = []

for num in (1,10):
  type = random.randint(1,2)
  if type == 1:
    newquestion = Add(random.randint(1,10), random.randint(1,10))
  elif type == 2:
    newquestion = Multiply(random.randint(1,10), random.randint(1,10))
  questions.append(newquestion)

print(len(questions))

Hi,

It looks like you are only looping through your for loop twice instead of ten times.

It should loop through 10 times if you use:

for num in range(0,10):
  # rest of code here

Thanks, completely blanked on that part of the syntax.
