An incomplete Python program for simulating a chemical reactor's target temperature is shown in Figure 1 below.

The program should generate a random target temperature between 180 and 360 degrees Celsius (including 180 and 360). This will be the secret target temperature the user has to guess.

Figure 1

1      import random
2
3      print("Enter your guess for the target temperature (C)")
4      userTemp = int(input())
5      while userTemp < 180 or userTemp > 360:
6          print("Invalid temperature")
7          userTemp = int(input())
8      print("Valid temperature entered")
9      if targetTemp == userTemp:
10         print("Warning: Reactor core matches critical threshold!")

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

generate a random integer between 180 and 360 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 $b$ ).
