Hello Tutor,
I need to generate a random integer between 0 and 100.
The range is supposed to be adjusted by my two variables:
low_range and high_range.
The logic of using the variables as part of the function arguments is
to manage to get a smaller range each time the function is called
_excluding_ the possible repeat of the return value of randint.
Here is what happens in my script:
>>> import random
>>> low_range = -1
>>> high_range = 101
>>> random.randint(low_range + 1, high_range - 1)
56
>>> low_range
-1
>>> high_range
101*
*
I was rather expecting:
>>> low_range
0
>>> high_range
100
Can somebody explain why both low_range and high_range are still
returning their initial values ?
Thanks,
Marc*

The variables low_range and high_range are not modified. The arguments
to random.randint do not change the initial values of the variables,
only the actual values passed.
