I am trying to use random.choice for a text based game. I am using windows 7,
64-bit python. Here is my code:
def lvl2():
print "COMMANDER: Who should you train with?"
trn=random.choice(1,2)
if trn==1:
lvl2_1()
print "Squad One!"
elif trn==2:
lvl2_2()
print "Squad Nine!"
Here is my error:
File "C:\Users\Jack\Desktop\python\skye.py", line 20, in lvl2
trn=random.choice(1,2)
TypeError: choice() takes exactly 2 arguments (3 given)
You don't say what version of Python you're using, but I'll assume 2.7
Steven's answer is correct, but here's another option:
trn = random.randint(1,2)
Here, the 1 and 2 are separate arguments delimiting a range of integer
values. Note that it includes both end points, unlike the xrange function.
Alternatively, you could use
trn = random.randrange(1,3)
To make the above clearer, suppose you wanted an int value between 1 and
20, inclusive. You could do that at least four ways:
trn = random.choice([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15,
16, 17, 18, 19, 20])
trn = random.choice(range(1, 21))
trn = random.randint(1, 20)
trn = random.randrange(1, 21)
