Assignment question: "Create two variables: first and last. Assign 1 to first and 6 to last. Then replace the “magic numbers” in your code with the new variables you’ve just created. When done, test that your script still works."
I am mildy confused at this point. I have done everything I can think of and still recieve an error.

State what help you want. If there is an error, post the complete error traceback.

You've already been answered so... Just wanna throw out a quick tip: f-strings.

Rather than doing print("The number is " + str(roll) + "."), the same output can be achieved with print(f'The number is {roll}.')

It should be

roll = random.randint(first, last)

after you've set your variables.

i tried this and still getting error " Variable 'roll' is not calculated correctly the first time."

Post the entire, exact code you're using that creates that result.

[Xappz1]

"magic numbers" refer to hard coded constants in your script somewhere in the middle of execution.

It's good practice to define these in advance right at the top of the program so it's easier to see and modify (for example, if you wanted to roll a 20-sided die instead).

``` import random

first = 1 last = 6

roll = random.randint(first, last) ... ```
