An incomplete Python program for simulating deep-sea drone depth calibration is shown in Figure 1 below.

The program should generate a random target calibration depth between 150 and 650 meters (including 150 and 650). This will be the secret calibration depth the user has to match.

Figure 1

1      import random
2
3      print("Enter your target depth calibration value:")
4      userDepth = int(input())
5      while userDepth < 150 or userDepth > 650:
6          print("Depth outside system tolerance")
7          userDepth = int(input())
8      print("Tolerance check passed")
9      if targetDepth == userDepth:
10         print("System synchronized with targeted depth")

Write the Python code that should be used on line 2 in Figure 1 to:

generate a random integer between 150 and 650 inclusive
assign this number to the appropriate variable from the program.

You must use random.randrange(a, b) in your Python code.

Note that random.randrange(a, b) generates a random integer in the range $a\,$ to $b$ , starting at $a\,$ but finishing one before $b$ (exclusive of $b$ ).
