    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

      Thanks. In the op you have d not D, so it confused.

        Indeed I did, sorry. Now corrected.
