Random Number

[Elaine Jackson]

The probability that the same number will turn up more than once is
approximately one in two million. If you're still worried, you might want to try
something like this:

>>> import random
>>> randoms=[]
>>> while len(randoms)<5:
 x=random.randint(1,100)
 if x in randoms:
  continue
 else:
  randoms.append(x)

HTH. BTW it's a lot easier to read "10**10" or "1e10" instead of a big string of
zeros.

Peace

| Whats the best method to generate random numbers so that they are most
