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

I can't get past this step. For some reason, it is not accepting my code, and I am sure it is correct unless I am misunderstanding the instructions. Someone please help.

random_num.py 
import random
def random_num(anum):
return random.randint(1, anum)

Hi,

You just need to indent your code inside your function random_num

Thank you. I was thinking the return should be on the same level as the def. SMH.
