I'm in an introductory Computer Science class myself and I have no clue what the heck that lab is about. Now I'm scared...

I've got the skills to figure this out but I don't have the will or time.

just make and array of size 10 "counts(10)" then iterate through and increment the corresponding spot in the array for each number you see.

x = next nubmer in the given numbers

counts(x)++

move to next number

what language is this?

*edit* I've never used python, so my pseudocode is probably shit, but I hope you get the idea.

Python

There was a time when I knew how to do this. Then I finished my AP computer science course, and decided that I never wanted to code again. It's been a happy 8 years.

never used it, but I have a raspberry pi at home that is telling me I need to learn.

do you get what I am saying though, as far as how to do it? or is it a more specific thing that you aren't getting?

Set up your counts list, then go in a loop (yeah, I know, inefficient, but ends/means, right?) of 1000 iterations, in each iteration make the call random.randint(0,9) and truncate it (so you get perfect 0,1,...,9. Use the number as the key in to your counts, using a ++ to increment the count up one from what it was.

I got it now but the way you tried to explain was way off

Good to know. The method, or the syntax? I should have probably not skimmed it, but I am at work.

Here, test run in PyCharm CE, 2.7.whatever

import random

counts=[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0]

for i in range(1000):

var = random.randint(0,9)

counts[var] += 1

print counts

Here it is with a shuffle-not-using-shuffle (list.pop is the trick):

import random

def CM1Shuffle(arg1):

RetVal = [0] * len(arg1)

for i in range(len(arg1)):

iPull = random.randint(0,len(arg1)-1)

RetVal[i] = arg1.pop(iPull)

return RetVal

counts=[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0]

for i in range(1000):

var = random.randint(0,9)

counts[var] += 1

print 'Counts'

print counts

sCounts = CM1Shuffle(counts)

print 'sCounts'

print sCounts
