Pythons Random Modules

Question

Can we use randint to randomize the series of values taken from a user
for eg.
print(""Enter five numbers)
a=list(range(5))
for i in range(5):
a[i]=int(input())
random.randint(a)
print(a)

Answer 1

If you just want to randomize the order of the array, random.shuffle(a) will do the job.

Answer 2

randint(1,10)-5 would yield -4 to 5 to be added to entered number

Answer 3

We can, but your example won't work.

Answer 4

Definitely not like you coded it. Let's say I enter
10 30 40 20 0
as my five numbers. What kind of values would you like to see? +/-10. I assume you want your numbers to be somewhat related to the entered numbers.

Answer 5

By what amount

Answer 6

from random import shuffle as s
a=list(range(5))
for i in range(len(a)):
a[i]=int(input())
s(a)
print(a)

Answer 7

Do it yourself, you'll learn more from it. You're on the right track.

Answer 8

ok tnx anyways now i atleast know its possible

Answer 9

i didn't get it @john wells

Answer 10

I think you want to print one of the 5 inputs? Remember that you access the single inputs in your array with a[i], so you have to randomize your i.
