How deeply does Python Workout: 50 ten-minute exercises cover randint?

Explains importing random, passing two bounds, and remembering that the maximum is inclusive.

Randint

As explained in Python Workout: 50 ten-minute exercises

randint is a function that returns a pseudo-random integer within an inclusive lower and upper bound.

Use randint when a program needs a random integer between two bounds. Its upper bound is inclusive, so random.randint(10, 30) can return 10 through 30, including both endpoints. section 1.2 section 1.3

Number guessing game

import random def guessing_game(): answer = random.randint(0, 100) while True: guess = int(input('Guess the number: ')) if guess < answer: print('Too low') elif guess > answer: print('Too high') else: print('Just right') break guessing_game() section 1.2 section 1.3

import random
number = random.randint(10, 30)

Shows the minimal import-and-call pattern for assigning a random integer to a variable. section 1.2
