Shuffle List

Write a Python program to shuffle and print a specified list.

Visual Presentation:

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

# Import the 'shuffle' function from the 'random' module, which is used for shuffling the elements in a list
from random import shuffle

# Create a list 'color' with several color strings
color = ['Red', 'Green', 'White', 'Black', 'Pink', 'Yellow']

# Use the 'shuffle' function to randomly reorder the elements in the 'color' list
shuffle(color)

# Print the shuffled 'color' list, which will have its elements in a random order
print(color)

Sample Output:

['Yellow', 'Pink', 'Green', 'Red', 'Black', 'White'] 

Explanation:

In the above exercise -

color = ['Red', 'Green', 'White', 'Black', 'Pink', 'Yellow']  -> A list named color is defined and initialized with six string elements.

shuffle(color)  -> Here the shuffle() function from the random module is called with the color list as its argument. This function shuffles the elements of the list in-place, i.e., it modifies the list directly without returning a new list.

print(color)  -> Finally print() function prints the shuffled color list.
