random.randint is a Python standard-library function that returns a pseudorandom integer between specified inclusive lower and upper bounds.
Python Workout: 50 ten-minute exercises
randint is a function that returns a pseudo-random integer within an inclusive lower and upper bound.
- How it is used
- Generates a bounded random integer for interactive programs such as a number-guessing game.
- How deep it goes
- Explains importing random, passing two bounds, and remembering that the maximum is inclusive.
- Examples
- Uses a 0–100 guessing game and a random.randint(10, 30) assignment.
- What you can do after
- Build it from scratch by generating a bounded integer and using it in an interactive guessing loop.

Python Workout, Second Edition
random.randint is a Python standard-library function that returns a pseudorandom integer between two specified inclusive bounds.
- How it is used
- Generates an integer for interactive exercises such as a number-guessing game.
- How deep it goes
- Defines two-parameter invocation and inclusive bounds, then applies the result in a comparison loop.
- Examples
- Uses a 0-to-100 guessing game and a smaller random.randint(10, 30) assignment.
- What you can do after
- Build a guessing loop that generates a bounded integer, classifies guesses, and exits on an exact match.
