For challenge two please ensure:
- The function has to take a list as argument.
- Create the list with some data say *my_list *
- Create the random numbers using random.randint
- Return the number
As shown below:
Ā
import random
my_list=[1,2,3] #thanks for correct Jason
def random_member(my_list):
random_num = random.randint(0,(len(my_list)-1))
return my_list[random_num]
Hope this helps

You can post the code you're trying if you're still stuck.
Jason Anello
Courses Plus Student 94,610 PointsI decided to recheck the challenge.
I'm not sure if the challenge was changed since this question was asked but the instructions no longer match up with the "best answer" here. Post your current code if you still need help. The solution now is different from what Winnie has posted.

Courses Plus Student 94,610 PointsThis passes the challenge but it does not seem like it should.
You're reassigning a new list to
my_listand losing whatever list was passed in.
