Question

Perhaps this a simple question with using list comprehension. How do you randomly select an entire list from a nested list? The randomly selected list should be in the same order it is in within the nested list.

[[’10’,’32’,’66’], [’78’,’501′,’23’], [’15’,’48’, ‘698’]]

Say the random selection gave me the second list in the nested list: [’78’, ‘501’, ’23’]

Thanks for any help…newbie.

Answer 1

In python, you can use random.choice()

$ python
>>> import random
>>> random.choice([['10','32','66'], ['78','501','23'], ['15','48', '698']])
['10', '32', '66']
