choice() is an inbuilt function in Python programming language that returns a random item from a list, tuple, or string.
Syntax:
random.choice(sequence) Parameters: sequence is a mandatory parameter that can be a list, tuple, or string. Returns: The choice() returns a random item.
Note:We have to import random to use choice() method.
Below is the Python3 implementation of the above approach:
# Python3 program to demonstrate the use of# choice() method # import random import random # prints a random value from the listlist1 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] print(random.choice(list1)) # prints a random item from the string string = "striver" print(random.choice(string)) |
The output every-time will be different as the system returns a random item.
Output:
5 s
Practical application:
Print any random number 5 times from a given list.
# Python3 program to demonstrate the practical application# choice() # import random module import random list1 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10] for x in range(5): print(random.choice(list1)) |
The output changes every time as choice() function is used.
Output:
1 4 1 5 7
