Question

im currently learning python (in the very begining), so I still have some doubts about good code manners and how should I proceed with it.

Today I created this code that should random trought 01 to 60 (but is running from 01 to 69)

import random

dez = ['0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6']
uni = ['0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9']
sort = []

while len(sort) <= 5:
    random.shuffle(dez)
    random.shuffle(uni)
    w = random.choice(dez)
    z = random.choice(uni)
    chosen = str(w) + str(z)
    if chosen != "00" and chosen not in sort:
        sort.append(chosen)
    print chosen

I’m also in doubt how to make the code stop at “60”.

Answer 1

You do realize you can write the exact same code in 1 line, right? It is easy using randint:

>>> [random.randint(1,60) for _ in range(6)]
[22, 29, 48, 18, 20, 22]

This will give you a list of 6 random integers between 1 and 60. In your code you are creating strings that have these numbers. If you are deliberately creating them as strings, however, you then can do this:

>>> [str(random.randint(1,60)) for _ in range(6)]
['55', '54', '15', '46', '42', '37']
