Choosing the secret word

Requirements:

• accessing list elements

• returning a value

In the main function we have:

secret_word = get_random_word(WORD_LIST)

When we start the program, we need the computer to select a random word and save it as secret_word. Take note that this function requires a list of words be given to it so it can pick one at random. The function is supposed to return one of those words. Complete the function in the starter code. Hint: use random.choice or random.randint.

Starter Code

from typing import List


def get_random_word(word_list: List[str]) -> str:
    """Gets a random word.
    
    Args: 
        word_list: the list from which to get the word.
    
    Returns:
        A single word.
    """
    pass

Tests

from main import get_random_word


def test_get_random_word():
    choices = list("abcdefg")
    chosen = set()
    for _ in range(100):
        chosen.add(get_random_word(choices))
    assert chosen == set(choices)
