The exercise is asking me if I've made a "random_num()" function, but I think I did.

Can you see what I may be doing wrong when you look at this code? Thank you.

random_num.py 
import random

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

Never ye mind, apparently, it wanted me to call my random integer "int"

import random
def random_num(int):
  return randint(1,int)

I take that back, it didn't work.

This is my error message: " Bummer! Did you create random_num()?"

You're almost there. All you need to do is call the randint function from the random library.

import random

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