Python: Create a list of random integers and select multiple items from the said list


8. Random Sample from List

Write a Python program to create a list of random integers and randomly select multiple items from the said list.

Use random.sample

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

import random 
print("Create a list of random integers:")
population = range(0, 100)
nums_list = random.sample(population, 10)
print(nums_list)
no_elements = 4
print("\nRandomly select",no_elements,"multiple items from the said list:")
result_elements = random.sample(nums_list, no_elements)
print(result_elements)
no_elements = 8
print("\nRandomly select",no_elements,"multiple items from the said list:")
result_elements = random.sample(nums_list, no_elements)
print(result_elements)

Sample Output:

Create a list of random integers:
[46, 4, 45, 50, 43, 85, 74, 42, 99, 7]

Randomly select 4 multiple items from the said list:
[99, 45, 85, 50]

Randomly select 8 multiple items from the said list:
[46, 43, 74, 4, 45, 85, 99, 50]
