Ask an AI what else is in the box

What you'll build

You know random.randint and random.choice. But what *else* is in that box? Learn the one skill that unlocks every library — ask an AI to list a library's functions — then run two of them yourself to prove they are real.

Requirements

The must-do parts. If any are missing, we'll ask you to take another pass.

1. Pick a library you have already used — random is perfect. Open any AI assistant you like (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini — your choice).
2. Paste in a clear question that asks for more of the library's functions. Use the starter prompt below as a template — the trick is to say you are a beginner and to ask for a tiny runnable example with each one.
3. From the AI's answer, choose TWO functions you have never used before. Type them into Colab and actually run them.
4. Write a short note: which two you tried, what they did when you ran them, and one thing that surprised you.

Examples

What your program should look like when it runs. Lines starting with $ are typed by you; the rest is your program.

import random

reviewers = ["Dr Owusu", "Dr Sen", "Dr Mensah"]
random.shuffle(reviewers)
print(reviewers)        # -> ['Dr Sen', 'Dr Mensah', 'Dr Owusu']

print(random.sample(range(1, 50), 3))   # -> [12, 7, 41]

Where to start

Copy this scaffold into a new file. You don't have to use it — it's just a friendly nudge.

Paste this into any AI assistant. Swap "random" for any library you want to explore.

I'm a beginner learning Python. I already know that the random library
has randint and choice. List 6 more useful functions from the random
library. For each one, give me:
  - its name and what it does, in one plain sentence
  - a tiny example I can paste straight into a Colab cell and run

Keep it simple — no advanced features, no extra libraries.

How we'll grade it

Four checks, four points. Three or above is passing — we'll ask you to revise anything we can't tick.
