Hey guys I'm trying to combine these two lists into one dictionary. However, on the second for loop it just keeps going through that and not going back to the first. Any help would be really appreciated. Thank you!
import random chores = ['dishes','bathroom','vacuum','walk dog'] assign = {} emails = ['a','b','c','d'] x=0 while x < 4: for i in chores: randomChore = random.choice(chores) chores.remove(randomChore) for key in emails: assign[key] = randomChore x = x + 1 You only need random.shuffle, and it works like this
import random chores = ['dishes','bathroom','vacuum','walk dog'] assign = {} emails = ['a','b','c','d'] random.shuffle(chores) res = {key:val for key,val in zip(emails,chores)} in your code, the for key in emails: part needed to be removed. it would choose the random chore then loop through, adding the emails without choosing another random chore.
here is the working code.
import random chores = ['dishes','bathroom','vacuum','walk dog'] assign = {} emails = ['a','b','c','d'] x = 0 for i in range(0, len(chores)): randomChore = random.choice(chores) chores.remove(randomChore) assign[emails[x]] = randomChore x = x + 1 print(assign) 
while loop?
Here, you don't need the useless inner and while loop an iterate over keys instead:
import random chores = ['dishes','bathroom','vacuum','walk dog'] assign = {} emails = ['a','b','c','d'] for i in emails: randomChore = random.choice(chores) chores.remove(randomChore) assign[i] = randomChore print(assign)
