Question

Write a program that generates a sequence of 20 random die tosses and that prints the die values, marking only the longest run, like this:

1 2 5 5 3 3 2 4 3 (2 2 2 2) 3 6 5 5 6 3 1

programming language: python

Program Code to copy

import random

a = [None]*20
#Generating 20 random numbers
for i in range(20):
a[i] = random.randint(1,6)
print("Random numbers: ", a)

count = 1
index = -1
start = -1
maxCount = 0
for i in range(1, len(a)-1):
  
#if previous and current element are same increment count
if a[i] == a[i-1] :
count = count+1
#if previous and current element are not same update maxCount and reset count   
elif a[i] != a[i-1] :
if maxCount < count :
maxCount = count
lastIndex = i-1
count = 1

startIndex = lastIndex - maxCount + 1   
# print(startIndex)
# print(lastIndex)

#Printing array as required in output
for i in range(len(a)) :
# print(i)
if i == startIndex :
print("(", end = "")
print(a[i], end = " ")
  
elif i == lastIndex :
print(a[i], end = "")
print(") ", end = "")
else:
print(a[i], end = " ")
