random number from list python code example

Example 1: python list of random values

# To create a list of random integer values:
import random
randomlist = random.sample(range(10, 30), 5)
# Output:
# [16, 19, 13, 18, 15]

# To create a list of random float numbers:
import numpy
random_float_array = numpy.random.uniform(75.5, 125.5, 2)
# Output:
# [107.50697835, 123.84889979]

Example 2: python choose random element from list

import random

#1.A single element
random.choice(list)

#2.Multiple elements with replacement
random.choices(list, k = 4)

#3.Multiple elements without replacement
random.sample(list, 4)

Example 3: how to print a random part of a list in python

import random

foo = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e']
print(random.choice(foo))

Example 4: print random string from list python

import random

list = ["Item 1", "Item 2", "Item 3"]			# List
item = random.choice(list)						# Chooses from list
print(item)					# Prints choice

# From stackoverflow
# Tried and tested method

Example 5: sample 1 item from array python

import random
cakes = ['lemon', 'strawberry', 'chocolate']
random.choice(cakes)
# prints 1 randomly selected item from the collection of n items with 
# the probability of selection as 1/n

Example 6: pick a random number from a list in python

import random

numberList = [1,2,3,4,5]
print(random.choice(numberList))    # Prints a random number from the list
