How do I use the .random module on a list to get a random item out without using .choice?

I’m a total begginer in programming 🙂

I’m trying to solve a coding challange which instructs me to
pick a random name out of a list but i’m not allowed to use the .choice function
instead I somehow need to pick an item out using the len() function
in my code.

# Split string method
names_string = input("Give me everybody's names, separated by a comma. ")
names = names_string.split(", ")
# 🚨 Don't change the code above 👆

#Write your code below this line 👇
import random

>Solution :

Try this:

result = names[random.randrange(len(names))]

This is also a possible solution:

result = names[random.randint(0, len(names) - 1)]
