In Python.....

I am trying to learn Python and was looking over for loops and while loops.

Should the following be using a while loop as it is waiting for user input?

When the 5 numbers have been selected, how do I print what has been randomly selected at the end?

import random
low = ['1', '2', '3', '4', '5']
high = ['10', '20', '30', '40', '50']

print "Please Enter Low or High"
print "Press 1 for Low"
print "Press 2 for High"
print

count = 0

for number in range (5):
choice = raw_input ("Low or High: ")
if choice == '1':
choice = random.choice(low)
count = count + number
print choice
elif choice == '2':
choice = random.choice(high)
count = count + number
print choice

Thanks for posting that geuben.

How would you print/store the five randomly selected numbers at the end?

Thanks again geuben......Can't get my head around these loops.

It's no particular part geuben, it's just knowing what to use and when to use it. It will eventually sink in.

I tried your code for printing out the 5 random numbers but it gives me this:

Press 1 for Low
Press 2 for High

2
10
2
10
2
10
2
20
1
2
['40', '50', '30', '30', '5']

Where does it get those numbers from when it should be ['10', '10', '10', '20', '2']?

It appears to be adding random numbers to chosen.

chosen = []

for count in range( 0, 5 ):
while True:
choice = raw_input()
if choice == "1":
chosen.append( random.choice( low ) )
print random.choice( low )
break
elif choice == "2":
chosen.append( random.choice( high ) )
print random.choice( high )
break
else:
print "invalid input"

print chosen

Cheers geuben, I'll be crazy by the time I have a grasp of Python.
