Learning Python

[LordHill]

I decided to learn Python. Yesterday I was reading about for and while loops. The tutorial ended with an assignment of making a lottery picker. So, I did. Probably much fast and cleaner ways to do it, but here is what I came up with, using both a for loop and a while loop. The wife and kids don't care, had to show someone, so here it is.

import random
import sys
numbers=[]

def skip ():
   print("\n")
   
   
def pick():
   skip()
   skip()
   skip()
   skip()
   skip()

   while len(numbers) < 5:
       pick=random.choice(range(1,69))
       if pick in numbers:
           pick=random.choice (range (1,69))
       else:
           numbers.append(pick)
   
                                
   pball=random.choice(range(1,26))
   num=sorted(numbers)
   skip() 
   print ("\t  ", end=' ')
   
   count=0
   for i in range(len(num)):
       print("", end=' ')
       print(num[0+count], end=' ')
       count+=1
   
   skip()
   print("\t     Power Ball = ", end=' ')
   print(pball)
   skip()
   skip()
   skip()
   pickem()

def pickem():
   again=input("\tENTER To Pick Or Q To Quit - \n\n")
   again=again.lower()
   if again.startswith("q"):
       sys.exit
   else:
       numbers[:]=[]
       pick()

pickem()
