Help with class example

Hello,

Hi - this just showed up in my mailbox. Perhaps there was a delay getting it posted.

The "" around tails and heads are not ascii quote characters. They are what some word processors change ascii quotes into to meet typesetting requirements.

Use a text editor, or type the code directly into IDLE.

I'm taking a beginners course on Python.

Have class example which is to be used in H/W, which I can't get to work. Thus I figure the example is wrong. But I need this to get H/W done.

Using'import random'and random.randrange infunction,returning #.

import random

def RandomNumberGen ():

if random.randrange(0, 2) == 0:

Xreturn"tails"

return"heads"

Simple enough, but running in my Python 2.7.3IDLE-it will not even run,and give syntax(red char box)error at the X above.

Frank
