I want to create a game where a person is drawn out randomly.
Can some1 check the code if everything is setup correctly.
I have tested the code numerous times and its ok in my eyes.
But when I send the code to a review, to an online class I only get 50% score.
import random
# 🚨 Don't change the code below 👇
test_seed = int(input("Create a seed number: "))
random.seed(test_seed)
# 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 👇
print(names)
names_count = len(names)
random_name_number = random.randint(0, names_count)
print(f"{names[random_name_number]} is going to buy the meal today!")
>Solution :
The problem here is almost certainly with randint. Unlike most Python conventions, the parameters to randint are inclusive. That means, if you supply (0,10), you are going to get numbers from 0 to 10. In your case, if they supply 10 names, using index 10 is going to cause an exception.
You want random.randrange, not random.randint. randrange(0,10) will supply numbers from 0 to 9.
