Python: Shuffle the elements of a given list

Python module: Exercise-6 with Solution

Write a Python program to shuffle the elements of a given list.

Use random.shuffle()

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

import random 
nums = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
print("Original list:")
print(nums)
random.shuffle(nums)
print("Shuffle list:")
print(nums)
words = ['red', 'black', 'green', 'blue']
print("\nOriginal list:")
print(words)
random.shuffle(words)
print("Shuffle list:")
print(words)

Sample Output:

Original list:
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Shuffle list:
[4, 2, 1, 5, 3]

Original list:
['red', 'black', 'green', 'blue']
Shuffle list:
