[Tutor] Generate 8 digit random number

[Alberto Troiano]

Hey ALL

The code Kent sent might work ok but I didn't see it because of what Pierre 
said about the left 0's
I think I will go with Pietro's approach. I think is neater and shorter than 
the randrange approach

Thanks to all that helped

Best Regards

Alberto
