I can't seem to figure this out. I have tried several different things and I'm not sure what i'm doing wrong. Can anyone help!?
Python-Code Challenge: Imports-Challenge Task 2 of 2: Now, make a function named random_member that takes a list. It should generate a random number between zero and the length of the list (minus one), and return the list item at that index.
Here is what I have:
import random
def random_member(a_list):
a_list=[1,2,3,4,5]
random_num = randint(0,(len(a_list)-1))
return a_list[random_num]

Thanks anyways!
