Question

Write a Python function that will ask the user for an integer X bigger than 20 and return a list "ls" of 10 distinct random integers taken between the interval 0, to X. None of the 10 elements of "ls" should be repeated.

Answer 1

As per your requirement, here is the Python code:

Rawcode:

#importing random module

import random

#function which generates the distinct random integers taken between the interval 0, to X

def randomList(X):

    #creating an empty list

    ls = []

    #loop which runs 10 times to generate 10 random numbers

    for i in range(0, 10):

        #loop which runs until the random number which is not there in list

        while(1):

            #generating random number between 0 to X

            n = random.randint(0, X)

            #if the generated number is already in list

            if n in ls:

                #then again generating the number

                n = random.randint(0, X)

            #if the generated number is not there in list

            else:

                #appending that number to the list

                ls.append(n)

                #and breaking the while loop

                break

    #return the list

    return ls

#asking user to enter the integer greater than 20

X = int(input("Enter integer greater than 20: "))

#checking if given value is less than 20

if(X < 20):

        #printing that please enter the integer greater than 20

        print("Please enter integer greater than 20.")

else:

    #calling function which generates 10 distinct random elements in given range

    print(randomList(X))
