Python can be utilized for many applications like web development, data analysis, ML/Machine Learning, and more. It can also be used to generate random sentences using various modules such as random module, secret module, etc. We can also select/choose random elements from a list, tuple, or set in Python and shuffle them to create a completely random sentence.
This post presents a detailed guide on generating random sentences in Python.
How to Generate Random Sentences in Python?
To generate/construct random sentences, the following methods are utilized in Python:
- Using “random.randint()” Method
- Using “essential-generators” Module
- Using “random.choice()” Method
- Using “secret.choice()” Method
Method 1: Generate Random Sentences Using “random.randint()” Method
The “random.randint()” method of the “random” module is used to generate/create a random integer number from the specified range. This method is used along with square bracket notation to generate random sentences.
Syntax
In the above syntax, the “start” and “stop” parameters indicate the starting and ending range.
Example
To demonstrate the working of this method, take the following example:
l1=['Python', 'Java', 'C++', 'JavaScript']
l2=['Language', 'Code', 'Program', 'Syntax']
l3=["is easy.", "is difficult", "is hard", "is complex"]
data1 = l1[randint(0,len(l1)-1)]
data2 = l2[randint(0,len(l2)-1)]
data3 = l3[randint(0,len(l3)-1)]
print(data1 +" "+ data2 +" "+ data3)
In the above code:
- The “randint” method is imported from the built-in “random” module.
- The Python list named “l1”, “l2”, and “l3”, containing user-defined random strings data, are initialized in the program.
- The “randint()” method takes the start and end range of the given lists as an argument and returns the random value.
- The “randint()” method is used multiple times to select random data and assign it to a variable named “data1”, “data2”, and “data3”.
- The random strings are concatenated at the end and display the random sentence.
Output
Method 2: Generate Random Sentences Using “essential-generators” Module
The “essential-generators” is a built-in Python “module” that is utilized to create random sentences. It can also be employed to create/construct random words, paragraphs, etc.
To install this module, type the below command in the CMD terminal:
Executing the above command will generate the following output:
Example
Here is an example code that demonstrates the working of this method:
generate = DocumentGenerator()
print(generate.sentence())
In the above code:
- The “DocumentGenerator()” method is used to generate random documents containing words, paragraphs, and sentences.
- The “generate.sentence()” is used to get the random sentence from the randomly generated document.
Output
Method 3: Generate Random Sentences Using “random.choice()” Method
The “random.choice()” method is used to select a random item/element from the input sequence. This method is utilized to generate random sentences in Python.
Syntax
Here, the sequence parameter specifies any sequence object such as a list, tuple, or set.
Example
The below example is used to generate random sentences using the “choice()” method:
l1=['Python', 'Java', 'C++', 'JavaScript']
l2=['Language', 'Code', 'Program', 'Syntax']
l3=["is easy.", "is difficult", "is hard", "is complex"]
print(random.choice(l1) +" "+ random.choice(l2) +" "+ random.choice(l3))
In this code:
- The “random” module is imported.
- The list of strings containing random data is initialized in the program.
- The “random.choice()” method is used multiple times to get random elements from the specified list.
- Lastly, all the random elements are concatenated using the “+” operator to generate the sentence.
Output
Method 4: Generate Random Sentences Using “secret.choice()” Method
The “secret.choice()” method takes the sequence as an argument and selects the random item/element from the sequence. This method is utilized to generate random sentences in Python.
Syntax
In the above syntax, the “sequence” parameter specifies the list, set, or tuple.
Example
The following example generates the random sentences using the “secret.choice()” method:
l1=['Python', 'Java', 'C++', 'JavaScript']
l2=['Language', 'Code', 'Program', 'Syntax']
l3=["is easy.", "is difficult", "is hard", "is complex"]
print(secrets.choice(l1) +" "+ secrets.choice(l2) +" "+ secrets.choice(l3))
In the above code:
- The “secrets” module is imported.
- The “secrets.choice()” method of the “secret” module is used multiple times to select random items from the specified list.
- The random elements are concatenated at the end to generate the random sentence.
Output
That’s all about generating random sentences in Python.
Conclusion
The “random.randint()”, “essential-generators”, “random.choice()”, and “secret.choice()” methods are used to generate random sentences in Python. The inbuilt “essential-generators” module is used to generate random sentences by using the “DocumentGenerator()” method along with the “sentence()” method. The “random.randint()”, “random.choice()”, and “secret.choice()” methods take the random element from the sequence and concatenate them to generate random sentences. This guide presented a complete overview of generating random sentences using several examples.
