Just recite a million random numbers. Pi goes on forever. The sequence you recite is bound to be in there somewhere.

That stupid equality vs equity picture
You may have seen this sort of graphic succinctly illustrating the difference between “equality” and “equity”: It’s actually completely unhelpful in the context of the discussions it’s usually utilized in, as it takes completely for Read more…

To save time, let’s have Python do it!
import random
i = 0
while i < 1000000:
print(random.randint(0, 9))
i += 1

…Indents don’t survive the Wrath of Blog…

I restored the indents with some HTML trickery…
But there’s a more efficient way…
import random;
int i = random.randint(Math.pow(10,6), Math.pow(10,7)-1);
print i;

Wow! You see, I have only taken a half-credit in Intro to Programming… 🙂

No, wait. Won’t your code just print a random 7-digit number? How will it get a million digits?

Hahaha… you’re right, whooops… what I meant was…
import random;
int i = random.randint(Math.pow(10,1000000), Math.pow(10,1000001)-1);
print i;
(But the efficiency is tongue-in-cheek, since it wouldn’t work anyway.)

Indeed — adapting that code to Python, it protests a Math.range error 😉

Meanwhile, your blog doesn’t want me to post a million digits. “Error: please type a comment.”
