Optional Default Parameters?

Question

When I run the following code the output is "None"? I'm trying to write a function that would print a random number between two values depending whether parameters are present or not.

import random
def randInt(min="", max=70):
  if min and max == False:
    return random.random() * 80
  elif min == False:
    return random.random() * max
  elif max == False:
    return random.random() * min + 100
print(randInt())

You need to spell out the first test.

if min == False and max == False:

Or shorten it like:

if min == max == False:

Thank you! When I run the program the output is still "None". Am I missing anything else? – Shane Gooch Feb 24 '19 at 01:59
The default values are `""` and `70`, but you're checking for `False` and `False`. – John Kugelman Feb 24 '19 at 02:20
