Selecting a random element of series-CodePudding

I am attempting to select a random integer from the list below using random.randint but it doesn't seem to work. Any ideas, please? The list goes from 0 to 229.

list(range(len(cleaned_df.loc[cleaned_df["Drug Regimen"]=="Capomulin"])))

Thanks!

CodePudding user response：

random.choice(your_list)

let's you choose random element from a list.

CodePudding user response：

You can use random.choice:

import random

your_list = list(range(len(cleaned_df.loc[cleaned_df["Drug Regimen"]=="Capomulin"])))

random_number = random.choice(your_list)

CodePudding user response：

You could use randrange from the random package:

import random

upper_range_limit = len(cleaned_df.loc[cleaned_df["Drug Regimen"]=="Capomulin"])
rnd_number = random.randrange(0, upper_range_limit)

[random.randrange() returns] a randomly selected element from range(start, stop, step). This is equivalent to choice(range(start, stop, step)), but doesn’t actually build a range object. https://docs.python.org/3/library/random.html#random.randrange
