Hi Monks The rand function can either get as an input the number 10 or user's choice.How to set the initial rand input to 10 when i start with option 1 because now there is no number 10 as an input for rand, I think if i start with option 2 it will work.Is it possible one subroutine to handle both cases, i tried but i didn't succeeded. 
$my number =10;
while($input=<STDIN>){
print"choose 1  or 2 \n";
$choice=(<STDIN>);
if($choice=~/1/){
&flashcard();
else{
 $choice=~/2/);
 print"enter  random range\n";
 my $newrandom = (<STDIN>);
 &options($newrandom);
  }
}
sub flashcard {
my $random = int(rand(&options()));
}
sub options {

my $max = shift;
if ($max==10){
    return 10;
}else{
  return $max;
    }
}
