How To Make A Random Greeting Giver In Python

In this little project, I will show you how to make random greeting giver! You input a name, and it gives you a random greeting, and well-wishes you!

This article will include:

• Random Module
• Lists
• Variables
• And Functions

Let's get coding then!

Random Module

For this, we will need the random module. It allows us to make a random pick. You need to import it by writing:

import random

The Random module has been imported!

Making A List

Now we make two lists, one for greeting them and one for well-wishing them.

List For Greeting

greeting = ['Hello', 'Sup', 'Howdy', 'Hi', 'Hola', 'Greetings', 'Namaste']

List For Well-Wishing

hope = ["Hope you're having a great week!", "Hope you're having a great day!", "Hope you're doing well!", "Hope you're doing good!"]

Making An Input

Now we make an input for the user to enter their name.

name = input("> What's your name? ")

Calling The Random Module

Now we use random.choice, which as it sounds makes a random choice. There will be two of them, one for the greeting and one for a well-wish.

For The Greeting

value = random.choice(greeting)

For The Well-Wish

value2 = random.choice(hope)

Creating A Function

Now we create a function. This will greet the user!

def greet_user():
    print('❯ ' + value + ', ' + name + '! ')
    print('❯' + value2)

Finally...

...we call the function!

greet_user()

That's it, you have successfully created a Random Greeting Giver!
Here's the final product:
