Select randomly n elements from a list using choice()
The choice() method is used to return a random number from given sequence. The sequence can be a list or a tuple. This returns a single value from available data that considers duplicate values in the sequence(list).
python3
# importing random moduleimport random# declaring listlist = [2, 2, 4, 6, 6, 8]# initializing the value of nn = 4# traversing and printing random elementsfor i in range(n): # end = " " so that we get output in single line print(random.choice(list), end = " ") |
Output :
8 2 4 6
