Random

Using random library allows to randomize integers and lists.

Randomize integers between range of 'a' and 'b':

Simply replace a and b variables. This will print a random number between 1 and 10.

import random
a = 1
b = 10
print(random.randint(a,b))

or just use the numbers instead of variables:

import random
print(random.randint(1,10))

Randomize items in a list

Using choice() fuction to random select a list item. These can be a mix of different types, such as integers, booleans and strings. This will print random item from the list.

import random
list = ["hello", 2, False, "world", 1337]
print(random.choice(list))
