Here is the code I'm given.
import random
def create_random_matrix(rows_min, rows_max, cols_min, cols_max):
matrix = []
# generate a random number for the number of rows
# notice that randint works differently from similar functions
# you have seen in that rows_min and rows_max are both inclusive
# http://docs.python.org/3/library/random.html#random.randint
rows = random.randint(rows_min, rows_max)
for row in range(rows):
# add a row to the matrix
matrix.append([])
# generate a random number for the number of columns
cols = random.randint(cols_min, cols_max)
# generate a random number between 1 and 100 for each
# cell of the row
for col in range(cols):
matrix[row].append(random.randint(1, 100))
# done
return matrix
def print_matrix(twod_list):
print(twod_list)
if __name__ == "__main__":
random_matrix = create_random_matrix(8, 12, 3, 7)
print_matrix(random_matrix)
The code creates a random matrix like this:
[[52, 23, 11, 95, 79], [3, 63, 11], [5, 78, 3, 14, 37], [89, 98, 10], [24, 60, 80, 73, 84, 94], [45, 14, 28], [51, 19, 9], [43, 86, 63, 71, 19], [58, 6, 43, 17, 87, 64, 87], [77, 57, 97], [9, 71, 54, 20], [77, 86, 22]]
But how can I change the code to output something like this instead?
36 83 35 73
28 11 3 45 30 44
39 97 3 10 90 5 42
55 73 56 27 7 37
84 49 35 43
100 20 22 95 75 25
58 81 26 34 41 44 72
32 23 21
31 37 1
95 90 26 6 78 49 22
5 17 31
86 25 73 56 10
