Python: Interleave two given list into another list randomly
Python List: Exercise - 147 with Solution
Write a Python program to combine two lists into another list randomly.
Sample Solution:
Python Code:
import random
def randomly_interleave(nums1, nums2):
result = [x.pop(0) for x in random.sample([nums1]*len(nums1) + [nums2]*len(nums2), len(nums1)+len(nums2))]
return result
nums1 = [1,2,7,8,3,7]
nums2 = [4,3,8,9,4,3,8,9]
print("Original lists:")
print(nums1)
print(nums2)
print("\nInterleave two given list into another list randomly:")
print(randomly_interleave(nums1, nums2))
Sample Output:
Original lists: [1, 2, 7, 8, 3, 7] [4, 3, 8, 9, 4, 3, 8, 9] Interleave two given list into another list randomly: [4, 1, 2, 3, 8, 9, 4, 3, 7, 8, 9, 8, 3, 7]

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))
