ABC School has allotted unique token IDs from (1 to 600) to all the parents for facilitating a lucky draw on the day of their Annual day function. The winner would receive a special prize. Write a program using Python that helps to automate the task. (Hint: use random module)
To automate the lucky draw process for ABC School, we can write a Python program using the random module. This module allows us to generate random numbers required for selecting a winner from the token IDs ranging from 1 to 600. The program utilizes a user-defined function to encapsulate the logic.
python import random
def select_winner(): # Using randint to generate a random integer between 1 and 600 winner_token = random.randint(1, 600) print("Congratulations! The winner of the lucky draw is Token ID:", winner_token)
Function call to execute the task
select_winner()
The program begins by importing the random module, which contains functions for generating random numbers. We define a function select_winner() to perform the specific task. Inside the function, the random.randint(1, 600) function is used because the token IDs are integers, and we need to pick one unique number from the specified range. This function returns a random integer such that . Finally, the result is displayed using a print statement, and the function is called to run the program.
Explanation
The question requires generating a random number within a specific integer range (1 to 600). The provided context introduces the 'random' module and references 'randint()' in the context of generating random numbers between 1 and 5, establishing it as the correct function for integer ranges. The solution follows the 'Activity-Based Questions' note which specifies that writing a program implies adding comments, writing function definitions, and executing through a function call.
Solution Steps
Step 1: Import the random module using 'import random'.
Step 2: Define a user-defined function (e.g., select_winner) to handle the lucky draw logic.
Step 3: Inside the function, use random.randint(1, 600) to generate a random integer token ID.
Step 4: Print the generated winner token ID.
Step 5: Call the function to execute the program.
