Consider a function capable of generating a random integer between 1 and 7 inclusively with equal probability.

Using this, devise an algorithm to generate a random number between 1 and 10 inclusively with equal probability.

Assume that using the 1-7 generator function is pretty time-consuming, so you want to minimize the number of times you are going to use it.

when you say a random number between 1 and 10, you are really looking for a random integer, correct?
