Plus the OP stated he needed a list. What's that list of ints for? Unless this is benchmarking, they might be in need of an unordered list of ints in which there are 10**9 different random values that need to have the proverbial needle(or 2, or 3) in a hey stack found. I thought there might be a reason, hopefully, other than trying to find the max range you could count to. > >
