Project Brief

This application with simulate randomly generating names from a pre-defined list. A use case could be: a set of new parents can't choose a name from a shortlist. Why not use Python to help!

The application will:

Take a user input of shortlist names.
Take a second user input of how many names they want randomly selected from that shortlist. This should be a positive integer. The app should check if the input is valid.
Print to the user the randomly selected names.

Content was reviewed and learnt from the Xander Talent Python Course LMS
I was checked online resources such as W3Schools and used tools such as ChatGPT to assist in the project
My Colleage Shahrukh helped me at the beginning of the project

What did I learn?

I got to work with pure python again which I haven't done for quite a while. I also used more Pseudocode in the early stages along with commenting the criteria at the top of the file to keep me on track.

I realised as well I need a lot more practice and so will be reviewing more content and trying other small challenges and projects in the near future.
