I'm writing a demonstration version of a program which does things
with integers, and with floats, which are randomly generated. I want
to also randomly pick whether the integer side, or the float side is
demonstrated next. I have 2 functions, use_for_integer_demo()
and use_for_float_demo(), and one or the other of these will start
the demo. So I want to randomly choose between them. I thought that I
might be able to use choice() to do that. So,
(bunch of functions here)
if __name__ == '__main__':
choice([use_for_float_demo(), use_for_integer_demo()])
I find that what's gets run each time is BOTH of these functions,
first use_for_float_demo(), and then use_for_integer_demo()! What's going on?
I've used choice in simpler ways before, such as coin =
choice(["Heads", "Tails"]) , which is very handy. And even for a
radically biased coin,
coin = choice(["Heads", "Tails", "Heads", "Tails", "Heads", "Tails", "Tails"])
Thanks,
Dick Moores
