Python Web Development Techdegree Graduate 58,248 PointsGood evening, there are a few errors in your code:
You need a colon at the dend of your def statement:
You have mis-spelt randint
The random number must be between 0 and the length of the string -1. So minus one there, not in the next line.
index = random.randint(0, len(string)-1)
