Random, on purpose

Print a number from 1 to 6.

That is a whole program. Fancy dice faces can wait. File name idea: dice.py

Workshop0 of 5 steps

Open the file

cd ~/learn

nano dice.py
Type two lines
dice.py
```
import random
print(random.randint(1, 6))
```
import borrows a tool. randint(1, 6) picks a whole number from 1 to 6.
Save and run

Ctrl+O, Enter, Ctrl+X.

python dice.py
What success looks like

You see one number from 1 to 6. Run it again. The number can change. Same number twice in a row is still fine. Dice do that.
If it breaks

NameError on random? The import line is missing or misspelled. Always 4? You typed print(4). 0 or 7? The range is off by one. Do not install a dice library.

Paste the full error into the phone tutor.

That is a finished die.

Two lines. Random on purpose. A coin flip is the same idea with two faces.
