Random Elements from two Lists - Python
1
So I have two lists in Python:
import random
list_1 = ['1','2','3']
list_2 = ['4','5','6']
num = random.choice(list_1 or list_2)
This doesn't seem to work. How can I get a random number from either list 1 or list 2?
python list random

You can concatenate the lists:
num = random.choice(list_1 + list_2)
or alternatively choose a list and then choose a character:
num = random.choice(random.choice([list_1],[list_2]))

In python3 you can use it too: num = random.choice([*list_1, *list_2])
