Randomly choosing from multiple lists in python

Question

I have 3 lists and want to know how python chooses multiple options from all the lists. 

I tried this code but it gives me only one option in total.

list_1 = [1,3,5]

list_2 = [2,4,6]

list_3 = [10]

random.choice([random.choice(list_1)] + [random.choice(list_2)] + [random.choice(list_3)])

Answer 1

You need to use the random.sample function to get the multiple random values

The syntax is:

 random.sample(list,k) where k represents, number of values to be sampled.

list_1 = [1,3,5]

list_2 = [2,4,6]

list_3 = [10]

random.sample(list_1+list_2+list_3,3)

[edit]

If you want only one from each of the list,

final_list = random.sample(list_1,1)+random.sample(list_2,1)+random.sample(list_3,1)

this can be done using  the random.choice as shown below

final_list =[ random.choice(list_1),random.choice(list_2),random.choice(list_3)]
