random numbers, randint - janeik - Nov-27-2023
hello.
I got what I want in excel but it fades away so I thought I shoul try Python to do following:
Read 4 random numbers one by one, into a b c d until two conditions (a = 9 and b =20) is true.
Code attached refuse to use the logical and. It works like a logical or instead (stop running when one of conditions is achieved.
As a none repetition and using bytes (none values above 254), I have a feeling another function/methode might fit better?
Will execution of program run faster by using bytes instead of integers?
import tkinter
from random import randint
a=0
b=0
c=0
d=0
root_tk = tkinter.Tk()
window = root_tk
window.geometry("19x12+0+0")
window.minsize(19, 12)
while (a != 9) and (b != 20):
a=0
b=0
c=0
d=0
a = randint(1,16)
b = randint(13,29)
c = randint(16,34)
d = randint(22,40)
print(a,b,c,d)
window.mainloop()[output][Running] python -u "d:\Python311\Scripts\randi.py"

It makes perfect sense to me hat or works. The and loops stops if either comparison is false. True and True == True, True and False == False, False and True == False, False and False == False. SO if a == 9 or if b == 20, the loop stops.
Or works because the only way for the loop to end is for both comparisons to be False: True or True == True, True or False == True, False or True == True, False or False == False. The only way for the loop to end with an or is for a != 9 to be False (a == 9) and b != 20 to be False (b == 20)
Maybe you'll like this better:
while not (a == 9 and b == 20):What is the purpose of this code. It is really strange. Why not set a = 9 and b = 20 and c and d to random numbers?
There is no reason to initialize a, b, c and d to zero.
Why are you using tkinter? If you want a window to pop up and display the results, all you need is an input statement.
from random import randint
while True:
a = randint(1,16)
b = randint(13,29)
c = randint(16,34)
d = randint(22,40)
if a == 9 and b == 20:
break
print(a, b, c, d)
input()

Hello and thanks for reply.
The numbers given for a,b,c,d (i.e. 1-16) are mean numbers combined with standard deviations for each number, to define areas (swing) (i.e.: 1-16,13-29...)
Numbers i.e. 9,20 are part of lottery draw.
