Mitya,
Why is it best in this situation to use range() rather than a while
loop? Curious about best practices for the various iterating
functions. Thanks!
There are a few issues here:
* variable names should be lower case
* for this case it's best to use for loop with range()
* you calculate random number only once, outside of loop
Try something like:
for count in range(100):
print random.randint(1, 100)
-m
It's a simpler and more idiomatic approach, as you can
see, you don't need to initialize the counter and you don't
need to manually increment it. -m
