Python – Get a sorted list of random integers with unique elements
Given lower and upper limits, generate a sorted list of random numbers with unique elements, starting from start to end.
Examples:
Input: num = 10, start = 100, end = 200 Output: [102, 118, 124, 131, 140, 148, 161, 166, 176, 180] Input: num = 5, start = 1, end = 100 Output: [37, 49, 64, 84, 95]
To generate random numbers in Python, randint() function of random module is used.
Syntax:
randint(start, end)
randint() accepts two parameters: a starting point and an ending point. Both should be integers and the first value should always be less than the second.
Below is the implementation.
# Python program to create # a sorted list of unique random # numbers import random # Function to generate a sorted list # of random numbers in a given# range with unique elementsdef createRandomSortedList(num, start = 1, end = 100): arr = [] tmp = random.randint(start, end) for x in range(num): while tmp in arr: tmp = random.randint(start, end) arr.append(tmp) arr.sort() return arr # Driver's codeprint(createRandomSortedList(10, 100, 200))print(createRandomSortedList(5))) |
Output:
[102, 118, 124, 131, 140, 148, 161, 166, 176, 180] [37, 49, 64, 84, 95]
