Hello @Chandika-04, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

Summary of Changes

This pull request introduces a simple Python script named random.py that suggests a random selection of fast food restaurants based on user input. The script defines a function chooseFastFood that takes the number of desired options as input and returns a list of randomly chosen restaurants from a predefined list. It also includes a main function to prompt the user for the number of options and print the result.

Highlights

• New Script: A new Python script random.py is added to provide a fast food recommendation service.
• Random Choice Function: The chooseFastFood function randomly selects fast food restaurants from a list based on user input.
• User Input: The script takes user input to determine the number of fast food options to suggest.

Changelog

• random.py
  • Created a new file random.py.
  • Implemented the chooseFastFood function to select random fast food options.
  • Added a main function to handle user input and output the results.
  • Included a check to ensure the number of requested options does not exceed the number of available fast food places.

Trivia time!

What is the origin of the name 'Python' for the programming language?

The name 'Python' comes from the British comedy group Monty Python, as Guido van Rossum, the creator of Python, was a big fan of their work.

Code Review

The code introduces a function to randomly choose fast food options from a list. It's a fun little script! Here are a few suggestions to improve the code's readability and robustness.

Summary of Findings

• Input Validation: The code should validate the user input to ensure it's a positive integer. This prevents potential errors and improves the user experience.
• Error Handling: The code could provide more informative feedback when the user requests too many options. Instead of a simple string, consider raising an exception or returning a more structured error message.
• Code Clarity: Consider using a constant for the list of fast food restaurants to improve readability and maintainability.

Assessment

The code is a good starting point, but it could benefit from some improvements in input validation, error handling, and code clarity. I recommend addressing the comments before merging. Feel free to request another review from Gemini via /gemini review when you have addressed these comments and I'll take another look!

Consider using random.sample for a more efficient and Pythonic way to choose multiple unique elements from a list. This avoids the potential for duplicates in the chosen list.

        chosen = random.sample(listOfFastFood, numOptions)
        return chosen

[gemini-code-assist]

Instead of returning a string, consider raising a ValueError exception. This is a more standard way to handle invalid input in Python and allows the calling code to handle the error appropriately.

        raise ValueError("You requested too many options.")

[gemini-code-assist]

It's good practice to validate user input to ensure it's a valid integer and within a reasonable range. Add a try-except block to handle potential ValueError if the user enters non-numeric input. Also, handle the ValueError that might be raised by chooseFastFood.

    try:
        num_str = input("How many options of fast food places would you like? ")
        num = int(num_str)
        print(chooseFastFood(num))
    except ValueError as e:
        print(e)
