Newbie to Python, Need help with how to impliment random values

[mintypretzel126]

Hello everyone, I just started doing Python after I learned a little bit of the language in Computer Science class. (A program at my school.) I am making an RPG and just wondering how I implement random values. For example, the player does between 3-5 damage to enemy, and when the system chooses a value, it subtracts from the monster's HP. Thanks alot for helping.

Use the random module

Use the random module

Okay, but what about number ranges? (3-5, 1-2, etc.)

[Yoriz]

Yes

[mintypretzel126]

Yes

Oh wait I saw. Now how do I make that random value subtract from a variable?

[Yoriz]

variable - random_value

[mintypretzel126]

variable - random_value

Wow! Thanks again! 
Now if you don't mind me asking one more... how do you use greater than or less than to compare variables and values? (if variable > 0)

Suggest you take a basic python tutorial

[Yoriz]

Yes that is correct

if variable > 0:
    print('Greater than 0')

if variable < 10:
    print('Less than 10')

if 10 > variable > 0:
    print('Its between')
