Re: [Tutor] random number generator

I'm tempted to suggest using a hack to avoid floating point errors. Anyway, it isn't choosing a number to ten decimal places. It's actually out to 11 in both examples you gave. And it evaluates to correct because your guesses were to at least 10 places, which is as far as you account for in the
