 I need a dictionary where get the result from a 'key' (on left), but

 I know that dictionaries aren't bidirectional, but is there any way
 without use two dictionaries?

 Thanks in advance!

You want to print the key as well as the value?

  Past a certain point, you'll exceed the granularity of the random number
  generator, and some values in the range will never be generated.

 You might want to produce an unbounded random integer, where *every*
 integer has a chance to be returned:

 def unbounded_randint():
     i = 0
     while True:
         if random.random()  0.5:
             return i
         i += 1

 This returns 0 with probability 1/2, 1 with probability 1/4, 2 with
 probability 1/8, etc. The probability distribution is centered close to
 zero (the mode and median are both zero, and I'm too lazy to calculate
 the mean) and it has an infinitely long tail.

Thanks Steven. I like how that bit works.

No range in particular. I was just wondering if there was a better way
than what I had been doing. Thanks for help.

Using the Random Module.

2008-07-11 Thread WDC
I am currently learning, and loving, Python and have a question about
random().

Right now, what I have to do to get a whole number and not a decimal
using random.random() is this:

random.random()
0.84765728501856734
_ * 10**17
84765728501856734.0

Is there a better way to do that besides doing this:

random.randint(0, 9)
09657398671238769

Thanks for your time.

David

 Maybe this?

That would work yes, but is there a random() function that would do
that without the attributes? Not trying to be lazy, I just want to
know if there is a built in way.

Thanks Michiel.

Re: Simple question, how do you tell how many items in a list?

 Read the library reference sections on built-in functions and classes.

Quite simple.

If I understand you correctly, you have a list like this:

 list = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']

As you can see, the list has 4 entries.

The len() function also says that we have 4 entries.

 len(list)
4

Now, if we wanted a particular entry, we would do this:

 list[0]
'a'

(Remember, when calling something in a list we count zero.)

 list[3]
'd'

Hope this helped.
