''' Purpose: Experience the thrill of random generation and list examination

    Task: Prompt and get three integers s, n, and d from its user (in that
          order). Use integer s as a seed to the Python random number
          generator. Then print n octal digits (base 8 digits) line by
          line by line. Then print the number of generated occurrences of d.
          There should be no other output

s, n, d = reply.split()

s = int( s ) # seed
n = int( n ) # number of values

# One-by-one add n octal numbers to the list holder
for i in range( 0, n ) :
    octal = random.randrange( 0, 8 ) # or random.randrange( 8 ) , these are equivalent do whichever you like more
    octals.append( octal )

# Print the list
print( "octal digit list:", octals )

# Determine number of generated octal values equal to d and print
d_count = octals.count( d )
