How to pick a random value from a dictionary in Python

Answer 1

import random

def get_random_value(input_map):
    values = list(input_map.values())
    
    return random.choice(values)

# Initialize the dictionary (equivalent to C++ map)
my_map = {
    1: "C++",
    2: "C",
    3: "Java",
    4: "C#",
    5: "Rust",
    6: "Python"
}

# Seed the random number generator with current time (optional in Python, but included for fidelity)
random.seed()

# Get a random value
random_value = get_random_value(my_map)

print("Random value:", random_value)

 
 
'''
run:
 
Random value: Java
