How do I retrieve an item at random from the following list? foo = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e']

 

You can retrieve an item at random from a list using the random.choice() function from the random module. Here's how you can do it:

python
import random foo = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e'] random_item = random.choice(foo) print(random_item)

In this example, random.choice(foo) selects a random element from the list foo and assigns it to the random_item variable. The selected element will be printed to the console. The random.choice() function ensures that each item in the list has an equal chance of being chosen.
