To ensure that the second argument in random.sample is randomized, you can use another method to generate a random number that will serve as the second argument. One way to do this is to use the random.randint
method to generate a random integer between 0 and the length of the iterable (minus 1, if starting at index 0), and use that integer as the second argument for random.sample
. Here's an example:
import random my_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] random_length = random.randint(1, len(my_list)) my_sample = random.sample(my_list, random_length) print(my_sample)
In this example, random_length
is a randomly generated integer that will be used as the second argument for random.sample
. This ensures that the second argument will always be randomized, and that the resulting sampled list will have a random length.
