How To use Random Module
This will solve ‘What’s for Dinner’ at our house, and likely a lot of other houses too
By running Randint, I would gather up a handful dinner ideas that we typically eat through the week (really, we at most the same 5 things every week). Randint will accept two parameters: a lowest and highest number. First value shall be less than the second.
Using the choice function can, we can input basic dinner ideas.
import random
myDinner = ['chicken breast', 'turkey tacos', 'chicken and broccoli', 'chicken and pesto sauce', 'pizza']
print (random.choice(myDinner))
I know that using Randrange would be great function for complicating/making easier(?) board game sessions.
import random
for i in range(3):
print (random.randrange(0, 101, 5))
## output:
30
0
25
What is Risk Analysis
I am familiar with Risk Analysis in my previous role as a Project Manager
Most of the items are related:
- Risk Identification
- Risk Assessment
- Perspective of risk assessment
- and finally, performing the Risk Analysis.
I remember a specific instance of using a new way of pulling wire that is supposedly increasing productivity by 25% per pull. We would then ask for a break down from the field of steps/time that we were actually saving and then put it against customer budget over the length of the project lifeline.
Since this was an unorthodox method, we had to also put it against any possible seen and unforeseen failures that may occur. What do those impacts look like? Is this enough information to buy this new method? No, move on. Yes, lets buy enough for a floor and see how the real productivity numbers add up.
