Random Number Selection and Scheduling with APScheduler

This code defines a function `random_task` that randomly selects a number and prints it. The `schedule_random_task` function uses the APScheduler library to schedule the execution of `random_task` at a random interval between 1 to 10 seconds.

Technology Stack : APScheduler, random, time

Code Type : Timed task scheduling

Code Difficulty : Intermediate
