Pick a number! Any Number. Import Challenge

Not sure where to go with this. I have tried a few things but still not working.

random_num.py 
import random
random_num = random.randint()
return randint

They want you to create a function, like this:

import random

def random_num(number):
  return random.randint(1, number)

Functions start with def... This function is taking in a number and using that as the upper limit for randint.

Thank you Kelly. That makes sense. I wasn't defining the function.
