As always, thanks all for the ongoing help and suggestions... the learning
continues.
I've successfully made a number of programs, making use of various random code.
Using random.choice etc
#-----------------------------------
import randomletters = ('a', 'b', 'c', 'd')a = random.choice(letters)print
'your random letter is %s' %(a)
#------------------------------------or
#------------------------------------
import randomletters = ('a', 'a', 'b', 'b', 'c', 'd')a =
random.choice(letters)print 'your random letter is %s' %(a)
#-----------------------------------
In the first random... , each abcd, has a equal chance of coming out. In the
2nd random,... a b,.. have an extra chance vs c/d to come out, making them more
likely.
What i would like to experiment now with is,...
How can you control randomness... lets say for fish.
CatfishBreedA
Can be say, 4inches, to 24inches long
Most fish caught are say 7-14inches long
Maybe 1 in 1000 catfish caught are say, 16-20 inches long
Maybe 1 in 10000 catfish caught are say, 20inches +
How.. can you program that kind of randomness?
Or another way to look at it.
BasketballerA
Can score 4-45pts a game.
Most games, he scores 15-25 pts
Maybe 1 in 1000 games he scores 30 plus pts
Maybe 1 in 10000 he scores 45 pts.
The actual %'s, lengths, and pts are irrelevent,.. they are just used to as an
example.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
