I feel this should be an obvious answer, however, I am having issues coding a personal project of mine. How would I be able to have certain lines of code be executed randomly?
Not from the project itself but the principles are still, say for example I would want the following code to be executed every 1/1000 times or so.
print("Lucky!")
How would I exactly be able to do that?
CodePudding user response:
Set a trace function that will have a 1/1000 chance to print:
import random, sys
def trace(frame, event, arg):
if random.random() < 1/1000:
print("Lucky!")
return trace
sys.settrace(trace)
You're welcome to test it with a 1/2 chance.
CodePudding user response:
Generate a random integer in the range [0,1000). Pick any single value in the range, and check for equality to see if you should print.
import random
def lucky():
if random.randrange(1000) == 42:
print("Lucky!")
CodePudding user response:
This can be done with the exec()
function.
Your code snippets could be saved in a text file where each line is one snippet.
After loading them, randomly pick on line and execute it.
