choice() is an inbuilt function in Python programming language that returns a random item from a list, tuple, or string. Syntax:
random.choice(sequence)
Parameters: 
sequence is a mandatory parameter that
can be a list, tuple, or string.
Returns:  
The choice() returns a random item. 
Note:We have to import random to use choice() method. Below is the Python3 implementation of the above approach: Python3
# Python3 program to demonstrate the use of
# choice() method 

# import random 
import random

# prints a random value from the list
list1 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] 
print(random.choice(list1))

# prints a random item from the string 
string = "striver" 
print(random.choice(string))  
The output every-time will be different as the system returns a random item. Output:
5
s
Practical application: Print any random number 5 times from a given list. Python3
# Python3 program to demonstrate the practical application
# choice() 

# import random module 
import random 

list1 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10] 

for x in range(5):
    print(random.choice(list1))
The output changes every time as choice() function is used. Output:
1
4
1
5
7
