Question

Say i have a dataframe with 100,000 entries and want to split it into 100 sections of 1000 entries.

How do i take a random sample of say size 50 of just one of the

Answer 1

This is a nice place for recursion.

def main2():
    rows = 8  # say you have 8 rows, real data will need len(rows) for int
    rands = []
    for i in range(rows):
        gen = fun(rands)
        rands.append(gen)
    print(rands)  # now range through random values


def fun(rands):
    gen = np.random.randint(0, 8)
    if gen in rands:
        a = fun(rands)
        return a
    else: return gen


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main2()

output: [6, 0, 7, 1, 3, 5, 4, 2]
