<p>Given the <strong>API</strong> <code>rand7()</code> that generates a uniform random integer in the range <code>[1, 7]</code>, write a function <code>rand10()</code> that generates a uniform random integer in the range <code>[1, 10]</code>. You can only call the API <code>rand7()</code>, and you shouldn&#39;t call any other API. Please <strong>do not</strong> use a language&#39;s built-in random API.</p>

<p>Each test case will have one <strong>internal</strong> argument <code>n</code>, the number of times that your implemented function <code>rand10()</code> will be called while testing. Note that this is <strong>not an argument</strong> passed to <code>rand10()</code>.</p>
