Random choice

Hello. When I create new instances of Monster class or subclass of Monster with max and min attributes, why it always gives the max value (for hit_points and experience)? But it should be a random between max and min which is defined in def init()?

Can you please share your code by pasting it here inside code blocks (refer to the Markdown Cheatsheet linked below the question/answer/comment box), or by creating a Snapshot of your Workspace if you're using Workspaces?

Without seeing your code it's difficult to give a proper answer, however, in your title for this question you said 'choice'. You should be getting a random integer from within the two specified parameters:

<p>
import random
minimum = 1
maximum = 5
example = random.randint(minimum, maximum)
</p>
