Answer to Question #183252 in Python for Angelie Suarez

Question

Who will pay the bill?

In London restaurants, it is not uncommon for a group of diners to pay the bill via card. To make it more fun, each of them bring the card and the restaurant server will pick one randomly and will pay the bill.

As a programmer, recreate this event through a python program. It will accept names separated by comma and space (“, “). Make a list out of the entered names and pick one randomly that will pay the bill.

Sample output:

Enter names: carlo,fedrick,jhon,icy

carlo will pay the bill

HINT:

1. Use split function

2. Use random module

3. Use len function

Answer 1

import random




while True:


	names = input('enter names: ')


	if len(names) == 0:
		print('enter at least one name')
		continue
	else:
		names = names.split(sep=', ')
		index = random.randint(0,len(names)-1)
		s =  names[index] + ' will pay the bill'
		print(s)
		break
