in thread Golf: Movie style code cracker.

This (from the OP):

So, supplied with a command line argument, D, indicating the number of (numeric) digits, code a routine that picks (fairly) a random code, C, in the range 0 .. 1eD -1,

Means that if the command line argument (D) is 4, then the range is 0 .. 1e4-1. Ie 0 .. 9999

For D = 10, then the range is 0 .. 1e10 -1. Ie. 0 .. 9999999999
