Hi
Is anybody can tell me why the function below dont works because if I just execute the for loop I have results
import random
>>> def rand():
for i in range(6):
… random.randint(1,40)
… print()
>>> rand()
Thanks in advance
You aren't printing anything - you just throw away the value returned by randint.
Note that without the function, the value is printed only because you're at the REPL - its job is to print out the value of expressions ('P' in 'REPL' is for "print"). If you had written the loop in a script and run it, you'd see nothing printed.
So what I have to do for make this function working please?
import random
>>> def rand():
for i in range(6):
… return random.randint(1,40)
>>> x = rand()
print(x)
I suppose you want this
If run as script
.py file and not in REPL then there is no
>>>.
import random
def rand():
for i in range(6):
print(random.randint(1, 40))
rand()Output:
22
35
8
12
21
29
if it's longer code with functions it can be better to run it as a script.
In REPL it would be like this.
>>> import random
>>>
>>> def rand():
for i in range(6):
print(random.randint(1, 40))
>>> rand()
22
2
12
14
29
26

No
What I need is to execute the function rand() - so it means to pick up 6 numbers randomly and to display it and after to call this function separately
Your code works but I have to do 6 entry for having 6 results
