Python: Generate a number in a specified range except some specific numbers

Python List: Exercise - 145 with Solution

Write a Python program to generate a number in a specified range except for some specific numbers.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

from random import choice
def generate_random(start_range, end_range, nums):
    result = choice([i for i in range(start_range,end_range) if i not in nums])
    return result
   
start_range = 1
end_range = 10
nums = [2, 9, 10]
print("\nGenerate a number in a specified range (1, 10) except [2, 9, 10]")
print(generate_random(start_range,end_range,nums))

start_range = -5
end_range = 5
nums = [-5,0,4,3,2]

print("\nGenerate a number in a specified range (-5, 5) except [-5,0,4,3,2]")
print(generate_random(start_range,end_range,nums))

Sample Output: 

Generate a number in a specified range (1, 10) except [2, 9, 10]

Python: Tips of the Day

Given a predicate function, fn, and a prop string, this curried function will then take an object to inspect by calling the property and passing it to the predicate:

Example:

def tips_check_prop(fn, prop):
  return lambda obj: fn(obj[prop])
check_age = tips_check_prop(lambda x: x >= 25, 'age')
user = {'name': 'Owen', 'age': 25}

print(check_age(user))

Output:

True
