I'm trying to write a line of code that will allow me to create a random list of 5 values, whose lengths I can vary in size. For example, I want the numbers in the list to have a length of 2 or 3 integers, like this: [11, 34, 67, 88, 93] or [100, 450, 622, 875, 998].
So far I have this:
import random
mylist = []
for i in range(5):
p=p+[random.randrange(?????)
print(p)
Can anyone help me as I've been trying to do this all day and it's driving me crazy! Thanks.
n_digits = 3
min_num = 10**(n_digits-1)
max_number = 10**n_digits -1 #thanks @TomKarzes
size_of_list = 5
my_list = [random.randint(min_num,max_num) for i in range(size_of_list)]
Use sample to take arbitrary value( here 5) from a list
>>>import random
>>>random.sample(range(10000),5)# or below
>>>random.sample(range(10,999),5)#2-3 integer numbers range
>>>random.sample(range(10,99),5)#2 integer numbers range
>>>random.sample(range(100,999),5)#3 integer numbers range
import random
mylist = []
for i in range(5):
m = random.choice([0,1])
mylist.append(random.randrange(10*m, (100*m)+1))
print(mylist)
import random
choices = [(10, 99), (100,999)]
bounds = random.choice(choices)
mylist = [random.randint(*bounds) for i in range(5)]
print mylist
[10, 50, 213, 567]?
