Predictive Nondeterminism and the Stochastic Die Roll

If two coins already lie hidden under a hand, is the result random, and when must a rollDie function really use random.choice?

A die roll that meets Spec 2

Implement the second specification from the video: rollDie() returns a randomly chosen int between 1 and 6, each face equally likely. Use the random module. Define rollDie().

import random

def rollDie():
    """returns a randomly chosen int between 1 and 6"""
    return ...  # your code here

import random

def rollDie():
    """returns a randomly chosen int between 1 and 6"""
    return ...  # your code here

Python runs in your browser

⌘/Ctrl + Enter runs

returns an int from 1 to 6

every face turns up

faces are roughly equally likely
