[Tutor] Generate 8 digit random number

[Byron]

Hi Alberto,

Here's how to do it:

-------------------------------

import random

def generateKey():
	nums = "0123456789"
	strNumber = ""
	count = 0
	while (count < 8):
		strNumber += nums[random.randrange(len(nums))]
		count += 1
	print strNumber
	
# A quick test...
count = 0
while (count < 10000):
	generateKey()
	count += 1


-------------------------------

Byron  :-)
