Question

in python:

Write a function, write_file, that expects as arguments, in order:

1. A list of words, like the one created by the previous function
2. A path to an output file
3. The number of words to write to the output file
4. The seed for the random number generator

and writes a randomly-generated file of that many words by randomly selecting words from the list.

If you use the random module function random.choice() to select each word from the list, calling the function like this:

>>> write_file(d, "./sample_output.txt", 20, 0)

should create a file called sample_output.txt in the current working directory, containing:

step confusing army turns fighting for hes secret up love waving favorite do have do defeat yo we weapon defeat

Answer 1

The Code below will help you generate the required output:

Main.py

import random
d = ["confusing","army","turns","fighting","for","hes","secret","up","love","waving","favorite","do","have","do","defeat","yo","we","weapon","defeat"]
path= "Output.txt"

#function definition
def write_file(lis,path,num1,seed):
file1 = open(path,"a+")
random.seed(seed)
for i in range(0,num1):
index = random.randint(0, len(lis)-1)
file1.write(lis[index] + " ")

#calling Function
write_file(d,path,20,0)
