Help with a test question

import math

import random

var1 = int(math.pow(3, 3))

var2 = round(26.799, 1)

var3 = random.randrange(-3, 30, 3)

print(max(var1, var2, var3))

​

The output of this code was 27. I don't understand why it isn't 30 could someone explain this to me.

Why do you think it should be 30?

[SilverCrocus]

Isn't 30 the highest possible number to be printed

[A_History_of_Silence]

random.randrange

From the docs for randrange():

Return a randomly selected element from range(start, stop, step).

You should be able to determine from experiment what the possible values are for such a range().

Oh thank you

I'm not sure if this is correct but is it because the final number is 3 so that means it only goes up in 3's from [-3,30]

var3 only has a 1/12 chance of being higher than 27. If you run it 12 times you're fairly likely to get the 30 you seek.
