I am fairly new to programming and I am having trouble figuring out this equation. I need to create a list from 100 integers that are generated at the range from 50 to 99.
From this I must create a steam and leaf plot, but I am having trouble with the random list. Must I use xrange or randomint? Any suggestions would help!
You need both randint and range in your list comprehension to create 100 random numbers:
data = [randint(50, 99) for i in range(100)] 
from random import randint at the top.
randint(50, 99)?Here is another way that is more straightforward: (mind you, list comprehensions are more pythonic)
import random mylist = [] for i in range(100): mylist.append(random.randint(50,99)) If you can use Numpy:
import numpy as np >>> np.random.randint(low=50, high=100, size=100).tolist() [69, 93, 87, 53, 84, 54, 79, 98, 82, 86, 58, 58, 68, 62, 55, 55, 90, 98, 89, 63, 99, 64, 78, 84, 61, 58, 85, 64, 52, 79, 90, 72, 58, 53, 81, 71, 78, 90, 78, 78, 82, 61, 65, 72, 60, 61, 52, 85, 77, 62, 70, 70, 92, 80, 76, 92, 59, 55, 65, 92, 64, 53, 69, 69, 90, 99, 86, 51, 81, 67, 67, 58, 60, 85, 71, 59, 50, 60, 66, 87, 98, 75, 96, 72, 56, 85, 68, 81, 74, 72, 95, 71, 57, 59, 71, 73, 88, 79, 65, 93] Note that the high number is excluded, i.e. from and including low to but excluding high.
