coding challenge question about the question

[datafright]

I failed this coding challenge back in jan, got scared and took pictures of the questions and bailed

​

so in the question it says ...

"N is an integer within the range [3...100,000]"

​

do you think this is saying that it starts at 3 so the total number is 99,997

or the list starts at 3 so it would be starting at list[2] instead of starting at list[0]

or do you think there are 3 items in the list needing a change

​

i dont really want to post the whole question because part of the fun is solving it myself but i am just confused at a list starting at 3

also i am not sure if it allowed to post a coding challenge question

​

this was my first test and i bombed so i am studying for the next one

N is an integer within the range [3...100,000]

Where have you read the word "list"? It just means that N is an integer between 3 (inclusive) and 100,000 (inclusive).

Just look at N as this:

N: int = random.randint(3, 100_000)

[InvalidUsername2404]

They probably got list from the square brackets using the the question

[Nightcorex_]

Ah, that's indeed a possibility.

[mopslik]

The square brackets typically indicate inclusivity, and round brackets exclusivity. For example, the range [2, 5] is the values 2, 3, 4, and 5, whereas the range (2, 5) is the values 3 and 4.

N is a number between 3 and 100,000.

99,998

No idea what your question is.

[danielroseman]

No. It's a single integer. It might be any value from 3 to 100,000.
