Again, this one as well… very badly explained. Sorry guys there is no problem of using my brain but im a beginner. I won’t be able to think of the things that I dont know yet.

Hey mate, I thought this one was pretty straightforward. Similar to the fmt package, there is a package that is able to generate random numbers, called “math/rand”. The idea is to try out generating a random number for the variable “amountLeft” with a number between 0 and 10000

As of v1.20 the info in this section and is possibly quite confusing depending on general knowledge. The specific area I’m referring to is the line " However, if we run our program multiple times, we’ll find that it always prints 81". This is also referred to in the next section as well. As of v1.20 Go will automatically random seed thus the number will be “random” every time, not 81.
