_{Project 1 — Step 12 of 16}

⭐ Step 12 — Random numbers

➡️ Use randint to pick a random number between 1 and 6 — like rolling a real dice!

✏️ What to type

Change the line inside roll_dice() so the {4} is replaced with {randint(1, 6)}:

print(f'You rolled a {randint(1, 6)}')

# imports
from datetime import datetime
from random import randint

# variables
world = '🌍🌎🌏'
python = 'Python 🐍'
fire = '🔥'

# Function definitions
def roll_dice():
    print(f'You rolled a {4}')

# Put code to run under here
print(f'Hello {world}')
print(f'Welcome to {python}')
print(f'{python} is good at maths!')
print(f'{111111111 * 111111111}')
print(f'The date and time is {datetime.now()}')
roll_dice()

Tap ▶ Run a few times. The last line should now show a different number from 1 to 6 each time:

You rolled a 6

🔍 Tip

randint is short for random integer. Integers are whole numbers (no decimals).

💡 If you get a red error

Check your brackets and curly brackets. Note: it’s normal for the same number to be picked twice in a row. It’s random!
