Hello,
I'm trying to find a way to use the random.randint function to
generate a random number, but everytime I run the program it locks up
IDLE. Here is what I have so far:
import random
def main():
x = input("Enter a number: ")
y = input("Enter a different number: ")
z = random.randint(x,y)
print "The random number between ", x, " and ", y, " is ", z
main()
Can you tell me where I'm going wrong here? When I run the program it
allows me to enter the numbers for x and y, then freezes.
Thanks!
Jeff

Your print statement isn't indented. It should print "the random number
between" and then throw an exception I think. You should either move the
print statement into the function or have main return x, y, z and print
the return values of it.
HTH.
