How do I choose one option or the other if user inputs an integer that's not defined?

Question

This program is meant to execute two programs based on user input. If the user inputs 1, it executes program_a. If the user inputs 2, it executes program_b. How do I make it so that if a user inputs any other integer, it randomly chooses between 1 or 2?

import random
choice = int(input("Enter the number for your choice: "))
r = random.randint(1,2)
if choice == 1:
  program_a()
elif choice == 2:
  program_b()
else:
  choice = r

You are looking to use random.choice to randomly choose between a list of data.

So, in your case:

import random
val = random.choice([1, 2])
