Trying to create a random list

I am fairly new to programming and I am having trouble figuring out this equation. I need to create a list from 100 integers that are generated at the range from 50 to 99.

From this I must create a steam and leaf plot, but I am having trouble with the random list. Must I use xrange or randomint? Any suggestions would help!

If you can use Numpy:

import numpy as np

>>> np.random.randint(low=50, high=100, size=100).tolist()
[69, 93, 87, 53, 84, 54, 79, 98, 82, 86, 58, 58, 68, 62, 55, 55, 90,
 98, 89, 63, 99, 64, 78, 84, 61, 58, 85, 64, 52, 79, 90, 72, 58, 53,
 81, 71, 78, 90, 78, 78, 82, 61, 65, 72, 60, 61, 52, 85, 77, 62, 70,
 70, 92, 80, 76, 92, 59, 55, 65, 92, 64, 53, 69, 69, 90, 99, 86, 51,
 81, 67, 67, 58, 60, 85, 71, 59, 50, 60, 66, 87, 98, 75, 96, 72, 56,
 85, 68, 81, 74, 72, 95, 71, 57, 59, 71, 73, 88, 79, 65, 93]

Note that the high number is excluded, i.e. from and including low to but excluding high.

You need both randint and range in your list comprehension to create 100 random numbers:

data = [randint(50, 99) for i in range(100)]

Here is another way that is more straightforward: (mind you, list comprehensions are more pythonic)

import random
mylist = []
for i in range(100):
    mylist.append(random.randint(50,99))
