    No, what he was pointing out was that the person was asking why
random.randint(1, 32) was producing a 0 in the output when it wasn't the
random call producing the 0...

    ... it was the print i which was printing what the for loop stuffed into
it.  range(20) will produce, IIRC, a list with numbers 0 through 20.  That is
where the 0 came from.
