Hello,
I have an 'Exam' module which selects new random set of questions and
displays it, well this is the idea n;). Here is what I have so far:
>>> import random
>>> n_question = 5
>>> q = {1:'1q', 2:'2q', 3:'3q', 4:'4q', 5:'5q', 6:'6q', 7:'7q',
8:'8q', 9:'9q', 0:'0q'}
>>> if len(q) > n_question:
... q_keys = random.sample(q.keys(), n_question)
... else:
... q_keys = q.keys()
...
>>> q_keys.sort()
>>> a = [q[x] for x in q_keys]
>>> a
['1q', '4q', '5q', '7q', '8q']
>>> a
['1q', '4q', '5q', '7q', '8q']
This only returns the same questions, what am I doing wrong? How do I
return a different set?
I would like to have a group of similar questions and then select a
random set out of this to make up my final namespace (a), thus avoiding
similar questions being selected from the pool of questions.
Is there a more elegant solution which will pull a random selection of
questions?
Cheers
