Generate a list of numbers within a list of arbitrary numbers
#1
Hi Guys,

Suppose I have a list of arbitrary numbers (23, 2, 49, 100, 101) and from this list, I want to randomly pick 3 unique numbers and store them inside a new list. I can’t use random.sample() function, as the function will generate the numbers based on a range of sequence numbers.

Can you please advise me on how to pick 3 unique numbers from a list of arbitrary numbers, and store them in a new list?

Thank you.
