Question

I’d like to know which item python chooses with random.choice so I can use if statements for different outcomes.

thelists = [L1, L2, L3, L4, L5, L6]
theplayers = random.choice(thelists)

I’d like to know which list, L1, L2…, the variable theplayers will refer to.

Answer 1

Have a look at the documentation:

random.choice(seq)

Return a random element from the non-empty sequence
seq. If seq is empty, raises IndexError.

Here, seq is your list.

You can get the index of the selected element with:

thelists.index(theplayers)
