HW 4.1

[Crista]

On problem 1 for homework 4 I am getting a Run time Error when I try
to compute the secret key g^(a*b).

b is supposed to be a random integer between 1 and p, right? I know
that randint(x,y) includes x and y, should I use another function?

Thanks for the help!

Without knowing more details I can't think of any helpful advice.

b should be between 1 and p-1.

No, that should be fine.
