Python

Now make a function named random_num that takes an int argument. Return a randint between 1 and the passed-in number.

Hello,

Can anyone help with this?

What I have now, which I know is wrong :(

import random

passed_in_number = 1

def random_num(passed_in_number): return random.randit(1,passed_in_number)

Also make sure the body of your function is indented.

You spelled "randint" as "randit."

python is kinda tricky it seems.

Its not really tricky, but it is very precise.

yeah, will practice more on it :)

am also confused about how to mak a function named random_num

Try something like this: import random def random_num (num): return random.randrange(1, num)
