Question

python question. I'm trying to set up a program to generate a lottery ticket from a list of digits. I want the program to select 4 digits from the list *without* duplicates. how can I set up the logic properly? (my current code below)

Answer 1

`from random import *

lotto_list =
winning_ticket = []

for i in range(4):
pick = choice(lotto_list)
if pick not in winning_ticket:
winning_ticket.append(choice(lotto_list))

winning_ticket.sort()

print("If your ticket matches these numbers/letters, you win!")
print(winning_ticket)`

Answer 2

sorry, it didn't paste over, but the lotto_list is a list of the digits 0-9 and the letters A-E (the exercise instructions specified 10 numbers and 5 letters)

Answer 3

Please do not comment unless you are familiar with python and are making a serious attempt to help.

Answer 4

ok nvm I got it, I changed the logic of the code to a while loop instead

from random import *

lotto_list =
winning_ticket = []

while len(winning_ticket) < 4:
pick = choice(lotto_list)
if pick not in winning_ticket:
winning_ticket.append(pick)

winning_ticket.sort()

print("If your ticket matches these numbers/letters, you win!")
print(winning_ticket)
