Most of the instructions are clearly listed. Just follow through and do 
what it suggests one step at a time.

and import random.

Well done I see you did that.

It says 'our' routine so you need to create it.
It goes on to tell you how:

So that's your next task.
write the function definition and create a main() that simply
calls createRandnums(quantity, limit)

To check it works print the result.

Forget about the rest of the assignment until you get that
bit working.
