Random Number List
# create an empty list name myList
# using a loop, generate 10 random numbers that range from 0 - 1000 (HINT: look at your Guessing Game code to generate a random number
# assuming your variable x has a value, you may use the myList.append( x ) function to add data to a list
# in your loop, after you generate a random number, add it to the list
# print the list and display all the random numbers
# using another loop, calculate the sum of the list of random
# calculate the average of the list of random numbers
List Search
# Generate a list of 100 random numbers
# Print out the list
# Initialize a variable named found to be False (found=False)
# Prompt the user for a number to search for
# Using a loop, iterate through (traverse) the list of numbers
# Use an if statement in the loop to check if the current list element
# matches the number you are searching for. If there is a match,
# use the found variable to remember that your number was found
# by setting it to True, and then break out of the loop.
# Outside and after the loop, if the number was found (check if your found variable is True),
# then print that it was found, otherwise print that it was not found
List Min/Max
# Generate a list of 100 random numbers
# Create a variable named minNum and store the first element of your list
# Initialize a counter variable x to the value 0
# Using a while loop, iterate through the list to find the minimum
# Inside the loop, if the current element at location x (myList[x]) is less than minNum, then
# store the current element (myList[x]) into minNum
# After the loop, print out minNum
# Now, recreate the above and find the maximum number
List Reverse
# 1) Create an empty list named randomNumbers
# 2) Add 10 random numbers to the list
# 3) Create a copy of the list by cloning it. Hint: check out the "Cloning " section of Chapter 9
# Name the copied list myNewList
# 4) Write a loop that traverses (travels through) half of myNewList. HINT: len(myNewList)/2
# 5) Inside your loop, swap the current element with its corresponding end element
# (e.g. the first element is swapped with the last element, and the second element is swapped with the second to last element)
# temp = a
# a = b
# b = temp
# 6) Print randomNumbers and myNewList. They should be in reverse order
List Surprise
# 1) Create an empty list named myNumbers
# 2) Add 10 random numbers to the list
# 3) Print myNumbers
# 4) Create an empty list named myNewList
# 5) Write a loop that traverses through myNumbers and finds the LOCATION of the minimum number.
# After you find the min, add it to myNewList and delete it from myNumbers.
# 6) Repeat step 5 while myNumbers size is greater than 0
# 7) Print myNewList
# Surprise! What does this program do?!
# CHALLENGE: How would you accomplish the above
# without creating a new list?
